When I was a child, my mother had a bright and sunny yellow
teapot that was very special. When she brought that teapot down from the top
shelf, we knew that we were in for a treat.
At Christmastime, she would fill
it with hot Russian tea, pile a plate with cookies, and set out her favorite
tea cups. We would sip tea and make clove-covered oranges, paper chains, string
popcorn, and more, filling the room with great smells and plenty of laughter.
Mom worked hard at several jobs, and time with her was precious. We knew that
when that bright yellow teapot was on the table, it was a special time of
sharing and togetherness.
Perhaps it's time to insert a few "stopping
points" in your busy days to create some special moments - for reading,
tea sipping, and story sharing? These are the moments that they'll remember and
pass along to future generations. Enjoy these days!
