As we gather together at this special time of year, I’m sending you these words of cheer…
May your days be merry and bright! Christmas in California is certainly different than my childhood in Minnesota. No snow to shovel, or cold temperatures to cause us to dash from car to shopping mall. Christmas baking and a real tree are cherished traditions I continue to enjoy.
Excitement is in the air...are your stockings hung by the chimney with care? Growing up, we never had a real fireplace, so we never did it. Now, I wouldn't miss a year where we hang up our stockings.
Remember those loved ones you hold near and dear...though far away the sights and sounds of past Christmases are crystal clear. Grandma's house was holiday central when I was a little girl. Our extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and special family friends came together. These days although we are spread from coast to coast, we have that connection to our past and foundation for our future.
Reindeer games? Will you be joining in any special activities? Every year Sacred Heart Elementary put on a Christmas pageant...I was Mary several years. I don't know if it was type casting (Mary the shy, quiet one) or if I could be spared from the choir because my voice although enthusiastic was less than melodic.
Young and the-young-at-heart sharing stories around the table or tree. My daughter started dance class at age 3. That was also the year I took her to a matinee performance of The Nutcraker. I couldn't keep her in her seat and she happily danced in the aisle along with the Sugarplum Fairy. It is one of my favorite memories of Christmas.
Do you have a favorite holiday memory?
Do you have a special treasure you received as a holiday gift?
I'd love to hear all about it...Please share...
