Love the Spirit of Christmas. The decorations – all the pretty stuff. Never liked the commercialism. The emphasis on stuff. How maudlin people get. Drink too much and bring up old wounds that will never heal. They realize their family isn’t the Cleavers. So this year won’t be any different than years past. Think it will be a VERY difficult time for a lot of people. Blessings to them.

I too love the sparkle and twinkling lights and the idea of holiday spirit. The magic of seeing the dark winter skies dotted with planets and stars only adds to the feeling that this is a special season. And I agree that the material side is highly overrated. As a child we never had a fireplace so we placed our stockings at the foot of our beds and when we awoke earlier in the AM than our parents finding it filled with fruit,nuts, a candy cane and a small inexpensive toy, that was the best part, aside from my mother’s homemade fudge!!
Yes! Always Mom’s Christmas fudge, which I have never been able to match!
