Now that his home is 'heaven,' I'm sure it's more true than ever. Your Daddy knew how to celebrate the Reason for the Season. He was such a kind and thoughtful man, as you are. Christmas in our house will be full of laughter, love and food for the first time in a very long time because ALL of the kids and grandloves will be home. We will be so blessed just to be together. Have yourselves a very merry time with the upcoming celebration of our Savior's birth.<br />love n' hugs from up north where it's cold, lots of snow and the smells of Christmas !

As long as we believe there will always be Christmas magic..

Well off to Dad I went and then it was partly explained that he had to come early as he had to travel the world! Oh Well, "I Believe" because under our Christmas Tree is a present it it says TO Gary From Santa!Woodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10133152472401045582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-20557169426223256872019-12-15T19:55:07.064-05:002019-12-15T19:55:07.064-05:00I miss that Childhood feeling at Christmas.

We had nuts, oranges and apples I use to think that was the only time of the year apples a d oranges got ripe. <br />A little different after I married and had children I let them think there were a Santa until they were old enough to realize better. This year here it's almost Christmas and I don't have my tree up not sure if I will put it up. Last year I flew out to New Braunfels Texas and had Christmas with my youngest son and his family. Two many surgeries and procedures this year,but I'm doing at this time. My Florida children will be here and although they are all grown they like a tree.

When our family opened presents on Christmas Eve, they always contained my parents, grandparents, uncles/aunts names. On Christmas morning the contents of my little stocking were those left by Santa Claus … said with a wink.<br /><br />Your father's handling of the little gifts for ALL brought tears to my eyes. What a man!
