I also have fond memories of my family and relatives who are no longer with us.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252685705241032079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972710.post-36981431863127812162016-12-03T21:42:30.253-05:002016-12-03T21:42:30.253-05:00You're welcome, Bridget. ~DecemberYou're welcome, Bridget. ~DecemberKSDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01833804154146003809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972710.post-18318338274113106902016-12-03T07:52:21.950-05:002016-12-03T07:52:21.950-05:00I swear I want to be more like you.

Stress to pull it all together and I am on top of it all this year. It is not my favorite holiday, I need to just be thankful we are all here and will be celebrating together.

I'm feeling sort of sad about Christmas this year -- the first without my mom, AND the first that neither of my kids will be at home -- but your post has given me a better perspective. Your words ring true for me! Thank you.

I wrapped a baby gift the other day - Peno paid no attention and Rupert ran when the wrapping paper made noise.... sigh...<br />Wanderingcatstudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459444703722115118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972710.post-301824587825742732016-12-02T00:17:54.095-05:002016-12-02T00:17:54.095-05:00Reading about your love of Christmas really puts a...Reading about your love of Christmas really puts a smile on my face.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972710.post-24316418772981720512016-12-01T23:16:25.490-05:002016-12-01T23:16:25.490-05:00Oh, damn....you made me cry.

I need to get on with it and take those memories, as painful as they might be and remember that at least they happened. Some folks don't even get that.<br />Araigneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543030200956480168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972710.post-47775342140466043322016-12-01T20:21:03.399-05:002016-12-01T20:21:03.399-05:00You've reminded me of my fun father-in-law, wh...You've reminded me of my fun father-in-law, who honestly thought he sounded better than Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby. I miss his singing and making up lyrics when he didn't know them. Your lovely memory of Dug is bittersweet, but like you said, we will always carry the love we have for those no longer here.Bonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608328439375705263noreply@blogger.com
