Today I am baking brownies and finishing up last minute details before all the chaos breaks loose. This is definitely the calm before the storm as the old saying goes. The next three days will be a whirlwind of family activities as we celebrate Christmas with all those we love.
Actually, my Christmas started yesterday as I partied all day with the best friends in the whole world. The love, laughter and friendship we shared yesterday was what the real meaning of Christmas is all about. Now, I am ready to move on with family. My son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren will be here in the morning to stay until Saturday. Tomorrow we will be with the Williams side of the family, Friday our immediate family will share our Christmas together and Saturday we will be with the Taylor family. Tomorrow we will remember mom as her loss leaves an empty chair at our table but we will celebrate the wonderful memories of the woman who gave us life.
So now, before my quiet solitude is disturbed by all the hustle and bustle, my Christmas wish for you...
1. I wish for each of you to be surrounded by the love of family and friends.
2. I wish you peace and joy.
3. I wish that in all the hurrying and scurrying you will find time for yourself.
4. I pray that no matter if you are celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza or any
other holiday, that you will take time to give thanks and find the true meaning of the holiday.
5. I wish you health and happiness throughout.
And now, from my family to yours...
