Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!

It’s the Merry Christmas Blog Hop!! ?

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Amid everything that our world is struggling with this year, we can still stop and reflect on the Gift of our Savior coming to save us. I hope that you find hope from that Good News–that’s the Gospel!

This picture sums up what Christmas stands for.

Oh, I know that the original celebrations were different, and not even Christian. I get that. But for us as Christians, we do celebrate Jesus, and we remember His birth, his death, and we anticipate His soon coming with hope.

Did you see the Christmas Star? ✨

I did, and I’m grateful that it came during the actual Christmas week. Just another reminder for us to seek after that which is real, lasting, and of eternal value.

This week on the Homestead Blog Hop

I’m sharing some special Christmas recipes. It’s nice to indulge in a treat now and then, but I really like to find treats that are not going to make our health tank, especially during this pandemic. We need to keep our health as a priority, something that’s easy to ignore during the holidays!

For Christmas this year, I’m planning to make these special treats to accompany our small family gathering.

Vegan Salted caramel date fudge

Fresh Holiday Cranberry Sauce

We will see what else we come up with!

Merry Christmas, Bloggers!

Always remember the True Gift!

Homestead Blog Hop will take place every Wednesday and is for all things homesteading: real food recipes, farm animals, crafts, DIY, how-to’s, gardening, anything from-scratch, natural home/health, self-sufficiency, self-reliance, natural remedies, essential oils, & more! Basically anything related to homesteading.
