Christmas
Well Christmas has passed. It was a nice Christmas all in all. There may not have been a lot of money for presents, but we were together as a family, and that’s what really counts!!
Christmas Eve the girls opened their presents that they got from me, what few their were. Usually that’s a special time, something that the girls and I do alone, but this year, we had a friend come over and join us. It was a very nice evening, that we all enjoyed immensely. My friend, MH, was even sweet enough to bring me a gift, which was completely unexpected, and very much treasured.
Christmas Day was spent with my sister, nephew, and Dad. It was a very nice day, and one that will hold a place in my memories. I really didn’t want to go, just because I’ve been wanting to stay at home a lot lately, but I am sooooo happy that we did go!! We exchanged a few gifts, had dinner, and spent time together as a family.
Christmas means a lot of things to a lot of people. Some people don’t celebrate Christmas, for a variety of reasons. Others celebrate it as the birth of Jesus, others tell tales of Santa and a magical time of year, and still others use it to help other people…But really, to me, it’s about family, about appreciating each other, and spending time with loved ones that we may not get to spend on a regular basis. I have no interest in debating whether Jesus really was born on December 25th or not. No interest in debating whether it’s right or wrong to believe in Santa, or whether putting up a Christmas tree is wrong in the eyes of God, according to the Bible…I just want to spend the days with my family, loving them, appreciating them, giving special things to them, and being together. That’s what Christmas is to me….Family.
