ho ho ho

tis the season or so they say .I enjoy Christmas to a great extent .But have found that the older i get i see the joy i have is from my kids .I love watching them get and actually enjoy playing ,reading and using the things they receive. I am making memories they will have and cherish as they get older.I will no doubt cherish the Christmas memories we have made together as i age. My sister in law cooked our Christmas Eve supper it was a wonderful meal with four courses ,she did a great job. My wife read the Christmas story to all the young kids .The time we spend together is not ever perfect ,but it is nice and we all get along pretty well. Not to mention we have good times as a large extended family . I looked at some old picture albums from my childhood and remembered all the family get togethers i had as a child . I am glad to have those memories down in my heart .I know that one day as my kids look back on our get togethers .I am certain they will feel joy ,and good thoughts ,and appreciate the times we have had . .I am thankful for the people in my life both friends and family .I am thankful for the ones that have gone on to their reward that touched my life .Merry Christmas to all .
