Opening Shut-up Hearts Freely


I have always thought of Christmas time as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely.

Charles Dickens

  2. Hi there, I made these ornaments when my girls were in high school; I tried to make some again last Christmas but only made a few. May your Christmas be filled with all that brings you joy!
    Hugs, Noreen
