Merry Christmas

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!

This morning after opening our gifts and watching my oldest try some ribbon candy, I thought of my dad and christmas of long ago when I was a child. The thrill of opening gifts...the joy of having a few new clothes and some toys when I was age approiate.....My dad would always think of different ways to get in as many family meals as he could. We didn`t always go to both sides of grandparents..as the weather didn`t always cooperate...but fun was still had, whether their was weather or not. Both grandparents house was always alot of relatives around, most of the time gifts weren`t handed out, but the love was there. The meal was usually a whole table full and if you didn`t get what you wanted the first go around, their usually wasn`t nothing left the second as like said alot of relatives. My paternal grandparents had 9 children and the maternal grandparents had 12 living children even though she had 14 in all.. Both sets of grandparents are gone now , but I still remember the good , fun times and the ones that are God`s angels, at least that is what I think and just waiting for each loved one to enter the gates of Heaven ...so they can give a big hug to you.

I thank all of the soldiers who are fighting to protect our freedom and all the families as well.

Everyone have a blessed Christmas and remember HE IS the REASON for the season.
