You know, I don't know if I would have liked this as a child, but my mother always insisted that we had to look at everything, the birth of a calf, dead animals, how things were done in the older days, and also old age and sickness. Although I was not always thrilled when I was growing up, I am so thankful now. That is a wonderful gift you can give your children if you do it right. I am trying to pass this on and show my children that life and death are connected and that there is nothing to be scared about. Yes, I also think that the way the Native Americans treated animals was so much more respectful than what some people do today. Happy Holidays to all of you as well!!

I always like to hear how the Native Americans would offer up prayers of thanks to the soul of the animal they would kill. It seems appropriately respectful. Genesee is very much like Sturbridge. It's such a good place to go to get into the holiday spirit. The cranberry hearts are really nice. Happy Holidays!dorinalouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997381262511104320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-14169567224263997202014-11-27T14:30:41.520-05:002014-11-27T14:30:41.520-05:00Welch schöne Gelegenheit.

Kerzen ziehen macht auch immer wieder Spass! Tolle Erlebnisse für Deine Kinder! Und sicherlich ein schöner Tag.
