What a beautiful time of the year! Families and friends got together, enjoyed the holidays, caught up on old times, and had new times. I haven’t been able to buy any gifts yet, but I’m holding to God to answer my prayers, so I’m not giving up. I plan to buy my mom something nice and will try to get my nieces and my nephews something good. And… there’s the food! My favorite part of Christmas. I cooked a great feast.
At the same time, I pray for those who weren’t able to sit down for Christmas dinner to enjoy that meal and for the ones who were outside with no one to share the holidays with. I don’t feel sorry for them, but I wish them the best.
I didn’t spend these holidays with my family, either. I’ve moved in with a new family with whom I feel pretty at home. Okay, put it this way: I’m comfortable. But I really wish I could have ridden to Fredericksburg to see my family. Unfortunately, I couldn’t drive that far. So I stayed in my new home and on Christmas Eve I cooked a fabulous full-course meal with all the traditional trimmings.
I hope and pray everyone had a beautiful Christmas with lots of laughs and joy and we all have peace and happiness. So, Merry Christmas!
