Christmas time is here

No picture this post.  I just couldn't come up with the right image so I will bore you with my words.

Christmas past and future.

Childhood time at the farm

Early morning surprises

Church programs that ended with a bag of candy

Those moments and special events were more intense than adult moments

Treasure those moments in your memory or with children. 

They always have a different perspective 

Adult Christmas

Spending the day with family

Sometimes surprises come (1974)

OR this Christmas with new lives to cherish.

The presents aren't that important as you grow older

We seem to buy what we want, when we want it

Experiences are the most important gifts.

Give time and happy activities.

I am thankful most of all for those happy memories in the past

Those Christmas gatherings of old,

Family gatherings on a houseboat,

We will always have Paris, Rome, Malta and Norway.

Far away places we have been

New places to explore in the future.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD YEAR
