Well, I agree with a lot of the Sistahs here - Christmas is hard to celebrate without your parents, but I always try to bring up all the happy memories and pictures, and we do a lot of story telling about Christmases past. It helps a lot -

- and THEN you begin to work on making new memories with Brothers, sisters, in laws and cousins, nieces and nephews, and of COURSE, the friends we are closet with - that warms your heart better than a good cup of hot chocolate !

I wish you all happy and comforting memories, delight at the decorations and lights around you no matter where you look, laughter thinking of Christmas fun times, and the warm cozy feeling you get being with family and/or friends - the simple joys of being together, relaxing and enjoying each other! This is how Jesus shares His Love with all of us to celebrate His birth!

Whew - guess I watched one too many Hallmark Christmas movies!
LYMI, my Sistahs!!
