A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....12-23, 24, 25, 26-05....Home for the Holidays
Mama_Bear

Posted on 12/23/2005 12:04:48 AM PST by Mama_Bear



Oh, there's no place like
home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine
Of a friendly face
For the holidays, you can't beat
Home, sweet home

I met a man who lives in Tennessee
And he was headin' for Pennsylvania
And some home made pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks a travelin' down
To Dixie's sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee
The traffic is terrific

Oh there's no place like home
For the holidays, 'cause no matter
How far away you roam
If you want to be happy in a million ways
For the holidays, you can't beat
Home, sweet home.

In a world that couldn't care less, we are to be people who couldn't care more.

So true. Thanks for your post, Mayor.

The empty boxes are collected, the floors are being swept. The only Christmas upset was when one of our house kitties escaped out the front door and disappeared. She is our once wild starving stray. I finally heard her faint plaintive mewing and, after dark , found her on the roof, unable to get down. My voice seemed to encourage her to find a way down and she suddenly appeared and welcomed my picking her up! She had had her adventure. Christmas blessings to all.

Hi Dave. Sounds like another wonderful, blessed Christmas at the DD household. LOL about taking your decorations down....I'm usually scrambling to get them up by Christmas so ours are usually up until the end of January! Hopefully sometime you will post the obglitary photos of Christian, Logan, Bailey and Jack!!

Prayers for gram and I really appreciated reading your note to snugs about your moms passing. Last year Christmas was just a month for me...this year was so much easier but still bittersweet. Your words put it in a comforting perspective. God bless you and your family!

Thanks again Lori for such a beautiful Christmas thread. Having finally met you this summer..I could almost "visually" see your intensity and effort (AND frustrations) as you put the thread together!!! Indeed it WAS a labor of love. I'm so glad to read what a special Christmas this was with your son. Hugs to you, jk and Chachi and Jackie!!!!
