I was reminded of a time when I was all alone on Christmas deciding not to decorate or buy a tree and a fairly new friend gave me a brown paper bag and as I reached inside and I pulled out a Mason Jar filled with Christmas. Everything from candy canes to snow to a tree, presents and any thing else imaginable. It was Christmas in a Jar. That year that Christmas Jar laid on my mantle throughout the holidays and these five years later it lays behind my coveted china cabinet and comes out to remind me of a time when I thought, "No One in the World is Home Tonight. Thank you for your story. Jo AnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
