The economy is so bad this year but as long as you have food to eat and a place to sleep that is all that counts. There is some who do not have that. It is so sad to me. Last year I gathered up some sheets, blankets,comforters and other things I had just laying around here and gave them to some mexicans so they could be warm. That is the one joy I have is giving.
I wonder how the christmas was when Jesus was a child and growing up. Was he like us and our children. What was it like.
There is so many memories of our childhood and christmas, for weeks we could smell the fruit in the attic (at that time we didn't know where it was) but we could smell it. It was a joy at christmas, we usually got a doll and a new pair of shoes. The boys got a truck. The last christmas Daddy was with us I received a Musical Jewelry Box. I still have it today. The music has just about stopped. It is 52 years old. I plan on taking it to a shop and see if I can get that fixed. There is a shop in Hot Springs. It still looks good and I cherish it.

Did we have an attic? So that is where they hid it. I would never crawl in an attic. Love the sights and sounds of the holiday. Right now I am relaxing, having a chocolate biscotti and Starbucks Christmas Blend coffee. (my own grind).
Today we (as in I) put the tree up. It is decorated and ready for kiddos of all ages. less than one year to 76 to stop by and enjoy the homemade goodies.
