THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS CAN HAVE MANY MEMORIES! WHAT ARE YOURS?

 Okay I love Hallmark Christmas movies. Sappy but happy. Predicable but enjoyable.



On one I watched today the character was talking about the Magic Of Christmas in her dialogue.


Too many childhood memories of opening that Christmas stocking on Christmas day. Always a delicious apple and large orange. Christmas with family.

My mind reflected- when and what made Christmas magical for me.

I started being Adolph's girlfriend Oct. 1966. He mailed me I love you Darling Christmas card which I cherished so much.

Christmas Eve 1969 we were engaged. He put the ring in a pair of fuzzy slippers.

Our first married Christmas. Student married residence at the University of Waterloo 1971.



A time when I always bought Christmas ornaments on sale. These drums and ponies were my first purchases as a married lady.

Natasha's first Christmas. Sonya arriving in the family and making our family of 4 magical.


When Eatons had holiday momentos. 1988 was a good year. Remembering our trip to Florida and our first cruise.

The magic of blending two cultures- Italian Christmas Eve Seafood dinner and Canadian Christmas dinner. 


So sitting in my cozy decorated family room, I feel the magic of Christmases past. 

In all the Christmas preparations, I try to put some magic into my life. Like the raffle prizes I made very pretty for two social events. Like magic watching the winners excited about their wins. 

I have made my house fun for the grandchildren over the years. They can touch and play with my decorations. Lots of craft materials to make fun items.

I recorded a Christmas message on my phone Dec. 25 2019 on how Adolph and I celebrated Christmas Eve and had a good day together before the family arrived. How blessed I was to have him in my life. It was our last Christmas together but a wonderful one.

So what magic will occur with the memories of Adolph and family events locked in my heart forever!
