It's funny how we all look forward to Christmas each year. My husband and I usually have alot of family functions to attend. I look forward to them because we don't get to see everyone now that we don't live close by anymore. It's really hard now with all four of my grandparents gone. Christmas just doesn't seem the same without them. But we all try and keep the family together as much as possible. I really look forward to going to my aunt's she makes candy every year just like my grandmother did. It is so good. It's like she's still here with us. I'm going to make Pecan Tarts. I'll let everyone know how they turn out and will post the recipe.
Sometimes I think we all get so wrapped up with Christmas traditions and who can buy the best presents that we forget about the real meaning of Christmas. To me the meaning of Christmas is the day Christ was born and Family. And I love both very much. That is all I want for Christmas this year is to be with my family and friends, to enjoy our time together.
My husband always laughs at me because he says I'm like a kid at Christmas but it's not what I get it's what I give to others. I love finding a present that is prefect for the person I'm getting it for. To see the smile on their face and they know that I choose it just for them. It makes me feel good. I love to buy for my parents. They gave so much to me when I was growing up it makes me feel good knowing I can give back to them. I grew up in a home where my parents always were helping other people and they have pasted it on to me. This is what Christmas is all about giving to others and remembering the first gift of Christmas was a Child. A wonderful prefect Child.
So I say to everyone remember what Christmas is all about... And Have a wonderful Christmas and I hope everyone is blessed in the coming year.......
