3-2-1 TUESDAYS WITH MS NIV

Issue #75, 14th December 2021

Ho! ho! ho! Christmas is here. What are you reading? What are you watching as your countdown to Christmas? Which are your favourite carols? Is Santa able to come to us amidst pandemic and its variants? what happens to the gifts then? What is your notion of gift? Shall we pay it forward this year – in the spirit of Christmas?

Here are some ideas of books to read, movies to re-watch, thoughts for gifts and a talk by a Santa. Enjoy this news letter and subscribe to my newsletter with your email. That would be a great gift to me 🙂 Thanks in advance.

Three Images of the Week

Two Thoughts of the Week

“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.” – Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

“It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.” – Mother Theresa

One Video of the Week

A wonderful close-up look at Santa Claus. George takes us through his three decade career as Santa Claus, touching on the real reason he still believes….and it’s not for the gifts under the tree, but the joy and love of the children. A wonderful and beautiful account.

In 1980 George Blythe with his high school sweetheart Patty Ripley and two of their four daughters came to Vero Beach from their home in the Valley Forge area of Pennsylvania. They found a historic Sexton/McKee house on the island, and in 1990, as empty-nesters, moved to an Oak Hammock in the western part of the county. George as he had since his teens continued in Real Estate and the Construction Industry.

An Auctioneer he has raised funds for many of our community organizations. George will give us a glimpse into the happiness of presenting Santa Clause to our community. He has been a busy man, in many a December since 1981, talking with our sons and daughters.
