Our Christmas is quite different this year. For the first time in 37 years of marriage, hubby and I will be together alone for the holiday. The kids and grandkids are coming in Thursday and Friday and that's when we'll have all the excitement.

With all that's been going on in our lives, I haven't had time to do the baking, decorating, gift wrapping, and such that I normally do ..... will spend Christmas Day doing a lot of that.

But we attended a Christmas Eve candlelight service tonight and are looking forward to some quiet time together, focusing on the fact that Christmas is not about all the trappings (as wonderful as they are) but is about the Tiny Babe born in Bethlehem, through Whom we have salvation, abundant life, and hope.

Though this Christmas will break just about all of our family traditions, it will also be very special.

God bless you and your family, Mr. M!!!

Good morning from snow on the ground NJ.

We have that White Christmas....but now its raining...but there is the promise of snow this afternoon.

Good Merry Christmas Morning Jim and ALL of my family here on ATRW.

It just started snowing here around 5 am, so I am off to Dunkin Donuts for an easy breakfast then doing final touches on my Christmas Dinner Prep.

Chaos has come down with a mean and feirce case of strep, so the day will be interesting with that.

I am HOPING and PRAYING that all of you (including our absent posters (ISB, SPECIES, W, ETC)) have a most blessed and joyous Christmas Day.

I'll have a raisin bagel please....and a coffee...:-)

[kassie]

Mmmmmmm, Dunkin Doughnuts...Haven't had one in ages. I used to live off them. I don't even know where a store is here. Hope Chaos recovers quickly.

No snow here, just lot's of rain. Rained all day yesterday and last night and it raining right now.

Merry Christmas to you all. Have a wonderful day.

Good A,M. to one and all. 2000 years ago Christ was born in a manger. Time went from the norm to the unbelievable. He came into this world to save us by grace, to have something to look forward to than just the mixed up world we live in today. I am thankful to my Lord to allow me to except such promises and will be with my love ones once again but his time will be forever, such a powerful word 'forever', such a long time.

Here is wishing that all of my friends out there have a wonderful Christmas day with your family and love ones, eat until you are full twofold, tear into those gifts (better not forget to say 'Oh honey, just what I wanted' if you wanted it or not and please, do not hurt the retail merchants by saving all those ribbons and wrapping paper.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning to you Early Birds. Wishing each of you a very Blessed and Merry Christmas..

No snow here. It was quite brisk when I let the cat out this morning. I doubt she will want to venture out there very long.

[kassie]

Merry Christmas to you both!

What's the forecast for your area Iowa Granny? It's raining here. We went to Mass last night so I doubt we get out at all today.

Gulfcoast6, you are such an important part of our family here. I look forward to your posts each and every day. Your words are always filled with such wisdom and humor.

[Iowa Granny]

I haven't heard any weather for today,,, only know the snow is missing us.

We'll attend Mass this morning and we won't need the 4WD to get there.

I'll be cooking for the 3 of us. Hubby, college age son, & myself. Later on, we will probably go to the hospital to sit with my Mom in the waiting room. My Stepdad is hospitalized.

I am sorry to hear about your step dad. We'll keep him in our prayers. My mom and step dad are in KS. They missed the snow completely. I am happy about that. Mom would be out there trying to clear the driveway and sidewalk by herself!
