Christmas was festive and fun! A time to have family eat and enjoy too much food! A time to count our blessings and be glad we were together! A time to remember those no longer with us or who live far away and could not be with us! A day of little children running around and no wanting to eat the special meal but their usual daily food! A dessert table laden with Christmas cakes and cookies and one grandson wanting the simple packaged ones Nana always gives him!! A day to use as the culmination of all the preparations that went into the big event! Using the good dishes and platters and linens saved for Christmas! Time to call distant relatives in Italy and British Columbia to wish a Merry Christmas! At the end of the day-another sip of wine by the Christmas tree to reflect and be tired but with a joyous heart! To enjoy the quiet house when the grandchildren with all their noise leaves the buildings! But to know enjoying all that noise and excitement really does make Christmas special! Having those little ones in my life is the joy! Even the big ones too!! So what memories did this Christmas make for you? Are you missing someone? Did you add any new people to your life?
