It's not looking at all like Christmas here, I pull the blinds each morning looking for at least a bit of snow but no a dreary winter morning that looks like it rained last night.
I'm all decked out with decorations however, it wouldn't be Christmas without them. When putting up an adorable Christmas Crib given to me in the late 90's by a gentleman I was engaged to marry, lots of memories putting that together each year.
I think we all take memories from our childhood at this time of the year and expect it to live up to then, it doesn't and really should not. Childhood is a special time.
Have any of you been watching the people who decorate the outside of their home that is on TV this year. They must have such big hearts to work as hard as they do to give children such joy. One couple had a law suit against them, so they moved cross country where they have no snow and needed something like that. Imagine selling one's house and moving away to be able to do it.
We hear about the bad people and what they do so often this time of the year however, there are many, many wonderful people who take their place and make us smile. |
