Can you name a few of your favorite things about Christmas Day?
I can:
1) the hush that seems to fall over much of the world – it amazes me
2) my family – I love them
3) memories of my father – I miss him
4) mashed potatoes and gravy – I could sit right in the pot, quite happily
5) knowing when a gift was “the perfect gift” - because of the smile, or shriek, that it brings
6) a shortbread cookie - or two, four, six, eight
7) my great big stocking - I’m a December baby, and was brought to my mom on Christmas morning in the hospital in a big red stocking, which I have always used
8) talking to friends – “what did Santa bring you?”
9) watching my mom open her gifts from me
10) going to bed at the end of a busy day – feeling overwhelmingly blessed
I trust a Merry, Merry Christmas Day was enjoyed by you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and especially you!
Love your list. It inspires me to be more grateful for all that I have. XO, Pinky
