Christmas Time for me....

So much runs to mind when Christmastime comes around. Busy, busy, busy.
Cooking, cleaning, shopping, cards, parties, decorating. All fun, but when you stop to think about it, can be very stressful and make Christmas not so fun.
I have learned something this year.
Christmas is having a wonderful, kind, loving husband.
Helping your daughter fix her house up for an important event in our lives.
Having a wonderful son, who is kind and loving. My baby.
My Sister and brother. My whole family. Bless them all.
Two new babies. Hope for another one.
Hope
Faith
Peace
Love
Another part of Christmas, that is Christmas is sharing.
Finding help for an elderly couple.
Salvation Army
Church
Difficulties, that come, even with the season.
The pain of losing a grandson, Bryce, so young, so sweet. Only 17 Christmas times for him. We will miss him forever. But as a family, we will hold on and work through together. It will be difficult, but not impossible.
Helping his mother. God Bless Her.
The joy of extended family. Erins father, Jerrys son and his family.
One thing I truly believe is, that for people who are overindulged they never truly know what it is to appreciate what we have.
Food, freedom, water, Love, working through problems together.
Finding a friend from the past.
Keeping our friends dear to us, who have stood by us all our lives.
Never being selfish.
Thinking of those who do not have enough money this Christmas for even one gift, let alone 10-20 per person.
The gift of Christmas is People. They are the most important part of your lives, and through them, those here and those gone, that will keep Christmas alive.
I miss my Mom and Dad so at Christmas. This Christmas someone new is added, Bryce.
Buddy and Bobby. Every time you hear a Christmas carol, sometimes there is that moment where there is a pain in your heart. But we go on, and we remember, but we remember with Love.
"And so this is Christmas
and what have you done?
Another year older,
A new ones just begun" John Lennon. Happy Christmas Everyone.
