Week #82!
Welcome to another edition of Weekend Traffic Jam. Look for the link up to go live Thursdays at 9:30pm EDT. Melynda, from Scratch Made Food! & DIY Homemade Household, Lisa, from Boondock Ramblings, and Sue, from Women Living Well After 50 and I are the hostesses for the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot. Sue’s post goes live in Australia on Friday at 12:30 pm.
How has your week been? While this week hasn’t been nearly as busy as last week, I’ve still been on the run a lot! The Women’s Ministries group at my church has been decorating Chrismons which are Christmas tree ornaments. They are traditionally done in white and gold. My old church up north had these types of decorations, too. Surprisingly, the first Chrismons were created in 1957, but I think they became a thing in Lutheran churches in the 70s or so. Anyway, those first ones at my old church and the new one were done with styrofoam, glitter, and other gold doodads. Ours were becoming tattered so wooden shapes were ordered a year or so ago. The project was turned over to this group (which I’m in). We’ve now spent two nice afternoons using glue guns, glitter, sequins, all kinds of trims, and pearls to decorate the new Chrismons. I can’t wait to see them on the tree during the Christmas season.
The four of us would like to see the Weekend Traffic Jam grow bigger, so please link up your favorite posts! I’m especially looking at my fashion friends! We are woefully underrepresented in the link up! They can be fashion, DIY, food, lifestyle, travel, you name it! Please visit the other co-hosts as well as two or three of those linked! You just might discover a new blog. I know that’s how I’ve discovered so many and found new friends. And, please spread the word about Weekend Traffic Jam

Hi Marsha, I’m so pleased we met and I always enjoy co-hosting Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot with you. Have a lovely weekend. x
I’ve had advent calendars on my blog one or the other year, about Christmas traditions, Christmas stories, last year it was a crafty one, and researching for them I learned about Chrismons for the first time. It’s not something we have in Germany as far as we know and I also never heard about them when we still had Americans stationed in town.
There is, however, a church-related magazine called Chrismon.
You never stop learning!
