My decor hasn't changed much over the years. The gold angel at the top was one my daughter and I bought when she was in her teens. <br /><br />I've actually read a few WW2 books recently and really enjoyed them. They were historical novels, but I learned a lot about that time in history. Also read the 'Potato Peel Pie Society'. And yes, I have been to the Pearl Harbour Memorial, though it was so long ago, I can't recall too much about it. <br /><br />I like your 'best random thought'. Let's reflect the light of Jesus this Christmas season. That is what Christmas is all about. Wishing you a wonderful and blessed Christmas filled with joy, peace, love and hope! <br />Judy https://www.blogger.com/profile/00929685771427155673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-36295459337844156852022-12-13T21:48:06.037-05:002022-12-13T21:48:06.037-05:00Hi Vee~ I missed this post by a good week!!

When I was a senior in high school, I took a history class all about WWII, it was fascinating! My father was in that war as well, so that sparked my interest...he never talked about it. One of my favorite movies has always been, Bridge over the River Kwai. I am very far from trendy. Your tree in the old trunk is beautiful, and your tree is so pretty! Have a wonderful week!

I like that. There is a lot in our history and present that we can be ashamed of. This present darkness we are experiencing makes it even more important to shine the light of Jesus in this dark world. So glad to enjoy that light and sparkle of life and peace that passes understanding. Shine on dear Vee.

Maybe we're just the trendsetters! <br />History is a favourite subject of mine and I love learning more about it and about how all the pieces fit together. What a great idea to teach from the present backwards. I did know about the Jews being turned away and find it so very sad. And then I wonder what policies we have today that will be judged by historians in the future in a similar way. Sobering thought. <br />The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is a favourite book of mine, and I also enjoy the Zion Covenant series by Bodie Thoene for WWII history from a different perspective. I read them long ago, but the stories have stayed with me. <br />I am so thankful for the promises of Christmas - Emmanuel - God with us! Let us rejoice!Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-50387033375052259052022-12-08T10:29:43.720-05:002022-12-08T10:29:43.720-05:00Being one of those who found history totally borin...Being one of those who found history totally boring in high school, I wonder if the outcome would have been different had you been my teacher. Your method sounds much more relatable. <br />I got a kick out of the answer to question 3. I agree :)<br />I have always liked Susan Branch's Be An Elf idea.

Looking around my house and in my wardrobe makes me think that I am. <br /><br />Your method of teaching history has merit! Who ever finishes the end of the book? In our homeschool, we rotated through history several times, so I think we delved pretty deeply into most periods. There were <i>many</i> excellent WWII books, but one of my favorites will always be <i>The Hiding Place,>/i> It was required reading for my high schoolers. <br /><br />Love your "random thought!" We do indeed have reason to rejoice!
