It's beginning to feel a bit like Christmas to me, so I thought I'd share some thoughts wand wishes with you all. Christmas is a hard time for me many years, because my dad died on December 15th 1988. So there is always some sadness mixed in with the joy of the season. I find that it is brighter when I focus on sharing with and caring for others.
The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other. ~Burton Hillis
Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen. ~Author unknown, attributed to a 7-year-old named Bobby
Christmas is not as much about opening our presents as opening our hearts. ~Janice Maeditere
May the spirit of Christmas bring you peace, The gladness of Christmas give you hope, The warmth of Christmas grant you love. May Peace be your gift at Christmas and your blessing all year through!
And may you share this Happily With family, friends, and Loved ones
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, Holiday Blessings to all!
Although " Silver Bells" brings me back to my childhood in NY, "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" and "Oh Come all Ye Faithful" are two of my favorite Christmas songs.
This time of year is a special time of giving for me.. to the community, to children in need, to my church, to friends, and to family.
What are some of your family's holiday traditions?? What songs do you like ?? What do you look forward to most this time of year??

Personally I like "the Christmas Song." This year...I look forward to having the first Christmas in America in many years.

Why does the programmer always get Halloween and Christmas mixed up? Oct 31 == Dec 25

I had a pretty nice Christmas. Over the past few months I've been helping my sisters (and dad, who's terrible at present-giving) get presents for everyone. I also did most of the wrapping. It was really nice to see how happy the presents made everyone. Highlights included: -my beautiful tablet  -my youngest sister's cece Barbie -my other sister's HTTYD toothless and iPod touch -my dad's TNG redshirt tshirt. -my parents new bigscreen

Talk To Me Quote Archive I've got no place to go, I've got nowhere to run. They love to watch me fall, they think they know it all. I'm a nightmare, a disaster, that's what they always said. I'm a lost cause, not a hero, but I'll make it on my own. I've gotta prove them wrong - It's me against the world. It is, in the end, whatever the **** I want it to be. And when I'm through with it, it's gonna blow a hole this wide straight through the worlds own idea of itself. ... Come on, lets go break their arms.
