A few words on Christmas…
This is our first Christmas together as husband and wife…and I’m excited about that, very excited.
We didn’t have much money to spend this year…but it’s OK. I already have the one gift that I’ve longed to have…his heart.
This coming Thursday we will celebrate the birth of our Savior…and remember those dearest to our hearts. It’s not about presents under the tree…it’s about love…it’s always been about love. God loved us so much that he gave us His Son…a baby…born unto a young girl who had enough faith for all of us. Yes, it’s about love…
We were able to purchase one gift for each of our children and family members this year…we even wound up with just enough to buy each other a gift….but I’m most thankful that I have the love of my life here with me to share this holiday.
I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for the wonderful comments and compliments that you’ve given me.
I’m looking forward to Christmas…and spending some time with my family. I don’t have that many family members left on this earth…so I cherish the ones that I do have here.
I wish you all the happiest of holidays and a joyous celebration!!

Sounds like you are going to have a great Christmas
you have a merry christmas too..and you are right it isn’t about gifts..it is about love..oh and food!

Well I hope you will forgive me, I made a mistake and left ALLLLLLLL of my Christmas cards in my dorm (ugh
) and can’t send them for a loooong, looooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnng time 
we got kicked out and locked out until Jan 7 
I made them, too! and they’re so purty!! 
I’m so mad at myself.
That is why I MAKE cards instead of just buy some goofy card now… because they are made with love
I hope that you have a wonderful xmas .. and spread that sweetness and love around .. and I know all about not having many loved ones left on this earth .. forever they are in our hearts … enjoy that first xmas together …and the music you have here is beautiful … reminds me so much of when I used to go to midnight mass as a kid …. miss that stuff …
Merry Christmas to you Maria.
It sounds like this year (your first as husband and wife) will be a special one. I’m very happy for both of you!
Yes, this season IS all about love.
I’m glad you and yours are together to share in it!
