What a wonderful day it has been with family here for Christmas. It's a little sad because some couldn't be here too!! {Melissa and Buddy!!!} My sister, Melissa, will be happy to know that I made her traditional Cherry Date Balls, and they turned out good. I just wish they were here to have some too!
I have to tell you about the coolest gift that we "received". It was from my niece, Kristin. When I opened it, I couldn't understand what it was...I looked at my Mom who had received the same gift, and she too had a puzzled look on her face. Then my niece explained what it was....on the paper it had a person's name {ours was a male}, his age, a size, and an item on this person's wishlist. This was a person that was homeless, and Kristin had given the gift that was on the person's wishlist and had given it in our name. That was the coolest thing! I was soooo tickled that she did something like this! She is such a caring, giving person, so I wasn't the least surprised. Somewhere out there, there is a 17 year old boy that got the Old Navy jeans that he had wished for, because someone {Kristin} cared!
Thank you Kristin for this gift of giving!
I hope your day was Merry and Bright!
I hope your day was filled with wonder.
I hope that you all had a blessed Christmas surrounded by those you love.
I hope Santa was good to you and...
that you got what you wished for!
And shall we always remember...
JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THIS SEASON!
So I won't be saying Happy Holidays.....
but I will...
Wish you a Merry CHRISTmas!
Back Porch Christmas Blessings,
