I think they were the best in my life, especially the one that you saw Santa in the window. I must find that priceless picture!! But then, we didn't have all my grandbabies and great-grandbabys to love. This year, of all years, I have learned that 12/25 isn't really that magical. Some theologins believe Christ was born in July, because that is when the North star really appears like the bible says. I have learned that Christmas and the love it instills is every day. What a great gift to receive. Next year, my dear, something needs to change as far as being with family. Love you all so very much..mom...P.S. I just remembered my childhood Christmases with your Poppy..they were pretty great..presents at our house first, then Candle Lite Service at midnite (we were in the choir) then off to grandma nana's house 'til three or four in the AM. Only bad part was the ruetegagas..couldn't standem then and still can't stand 'em or spell 'em, haha.Grammiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172672051436919116noreply@blogger.com
