Holiday Months Create a Break from Genealogy

CHRISTMAS 1957


Though I am addicted to family research, I am aware that at times we have to take a step back. The holiday months are hectic with all the trimmings that come with the season. My research has been intense with the Vineyard, Campbell lines. It takes up space in my mind and time to dig, compare, have all the screens open... searching for that small tidbit that could be the next steppingstone. 

I'm going to focus on Christmas Past and all the joys of the season. I also love the inspirational things that I have saved over the years to give me direction. So... for a while, I will share, old Christmas photos, devotionals, quotes, and just things that have given me my "bottom line" strength, things that reach down to my soul. 

I praise and thank God for my mother and daddy who taught me to stand firm, believe in Him and know that I am worthy and loved.

My family research is my escape...I often say that I enjoy my old ancestors more than I do the recent social medias with all the noise and chatter. My ancestors can't hide behind what isn't real. I learn valuable lessons from all of their experiences. This doesn't mean to say, that every now and then I may get sidetracked back to my first love and have to take a peek at genealogy.... but for now, I'll take a break and share some inspirational topics.
