Memories to treasure
Are made of Christmas Day,
Made of family gatherings
And children as they play.
Helen Steiner Rice
Almost all of us have the opportunity to interact with children or watch others as they do. Watch the love as it flows from that child. Receive it and cherish it, for it is a true miracle from, and reminder of, our Lord God Almighty
GOOD MORNING !
When I got home from work yesterday I was so tired out that I really didn’t do much. But this morning I’ll be getting everything ready to take over to DS#5’s around 11:30 for our family Christmas celebration. It’ll be a good time for all and I will take loads of pictures.
Our weather is supposed to be in the high 40’s maybe even reaching 50 degrees which is almost unheard of for us this time of year. At least we won’t have to worry about snowy icy roads to travel on.
This is a heavy duty traveling weekend for lots of folks going home for Christmas. So I’ll be praying for a safe journey for everyone.
Our snow will probably all melt, but they are saying we still could have snow for Christmas. I could do without it, but there are many that wish for it. It looks pretty looking from the inside out, but that’s about it in my books.
We are having ham (which was a gift from my boss) and I’m making some baked beans and my deviled eggs. DD is bringing some Cheezy Potatoes, DS#1 is bringing some appetizers and a lasagna. DS#3 is bringing cookies, DS#5 is making green bean casserole and a veggie tray and DS#6 is bringing potato salad. It will be a great feast for sure.
The highlight of the day will be the grand’babes’ as always. My children love getting together and rehashing old times and we all laugh a lot, which really warms my heart. We will be making some memories for all present to treasure in the days to come.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree:
the presence of a happy family
all wrapped up in each other.

May the season's simple joys
Warm your heart...
Fill your home...
Last a lifetime
