I'm such a Christmas girl! I love everything about Cmas! I feel like Elf in the movie 'Elf'.....I feel like a kid about Christmas. I could even eat cotton balls!
When the kids were little I used to read a Cmas story every night of December. I think I loved it more than they did!
I could always spot an elf.....so the kids 'better watch out....they better not pout'. Oh, I used that one a lot! I got more excited to get a tree and to decorate than them! I think my favorite flower is a poinsetta (red)....not because it is the most beautiful...but because it means Christmas! If you come to my house, I keep poinsettas around all year. I listen to Christmas music year round. It is my favorite. The best part of Christmas is family! I was so lucky to grow up in a family that revelled in celebrating the holidays! I have so many great memories....so heart warming.
We've been so lucky to live by elderly neighbors in both houses here in Walla Walla. So fun to help them around Christmas. One of our neighbors from our first house, didn't have any family, so we did the 12 days of Cmas for him. He went about crazy trying to figure out who was doing it! lol! He should have known it was us....we brought him Sunday dinner every night....we couldn't get him to come over and eat with us....he said he was used to being alone. We sang (and it was horrible) to another neighbor in the hospital as he was dying of cancer.....but somehow he seemed touched....we brought him a little tree for his room.
I love Santa! I love celebrating the birth of Christ! Trying to be more Christlike around this time.....filling his manger up with hay as we do good things...making His bed softer! I love giving presents! Oh, I love it all!
Merry Christmas!
