My Christmas Lensography
I thought it was time to organize my Christmas pages so I decided to make a Christmas Lensography. Like many others here at Squidoo-Land I have created several pages to give guest ideas for Christmas Gifts, including the men in our lives.
Although, to many Christmas is symbolized with giving and receiving gifts, there are still those of us who actually enjoy the old time traditions of Christmas-pass. I wrote a story about a family who had very little money, but yet had the most wonderful Christmas by creating a homemade gift. The story stems from this "Old Soul" of mine and believing that gift giving comes from deep in our heart, and regardless of the value of the gift, the thoughtfulness should be the most important aspect.
This year (2010) I did create a Christmas Shopping Guide featuring several different ideas for Victorian Jewelry. The truth of the matter is, these would make great gifts all year long for birthdays, anniversaries, valentines and just a special "I Love You" gift.
Enjoy your tour through my Christmas Page. Wishing everyone a very blessed holiday season fill with Love, Joy and Happiness.

A Christmas Story
(c) WhiteOak-1990
I wrote this story back in the early 1990's. It was written after I went from being a family of two to a family of four over night, literally.
Having a family increase like that meant there would have to be a lot of changes in our lifestyle and especially in our spending habits. Oh, and by the way, I would not change the whole experience for any amount of money in the world. Click on the link to read more

Victorian Christmas Stocking
Beautiful, Elegant, Delicate and Feminine
Christmas Eve when children leave plates of cookies and glasses of milk out for Santa, they would never forget to hang their Christmas stocking by the chimney with care. Do you know why? In hopes that Saint Nickolas' would soon be there.
Victorian Christmas Stockings are so beautiful, delicate and elegant. If you chose to have a Victorian Theme Christmas, having the stockings just hadd that much more beauty! Regardless, hanging Christmas stockings is always exciting and most families that celebrate Christmas have done this for generations. Click on the link to read more

Let's Cook some Christmas Recipes
Cookies, Breads and more
I love to cook! But I really enjoy cooking and giving baked goods as presents or making a plate of baked goods for my husband to take to work for the guys. Back in the day before Christmas became so commercialized, people often use to bake and make gift baskets for friends and families. The baskets would have baked goods, jars of canned items, homemade kitchen towels. These items were priceless, and people enjoyed receiving the gifts as much as they did making them.

My Favorite Christmas Movie
The Christmas Season would not be Christmas for me if I did not watch the classic movie A Christmas Carol. As odd as that sounds, from Thanksgiving Day to Christmas Day, I spend most of my time watching the different versions of this classic film. As far as movies or stories are concerned, this is without a doubt my favorite, favorite one!!Click on the link to read more

Santa Claus
Victorian Santa Claus
I believe one of the most passed down traditions for Christmas is children writing letters to Santa Clause. Yes, I was one of the children that wrote the letters and I was also one of the children who left cookies and milk out for him.
When I was raising my brother and sister they too wrote letters to Santa. Often writing the letters would suggest if the child was good or bad, and also they would give "heartfelt" hints as to what they wanted as gifts. Click on the link and read more
