Blogmas 2023: 12/24

 Here it is Christmas Eve and the last day of BlogmasI hope you've enjoyed a peek at our simple holiday this year.

In yesterday's post, I left you with the promise of a question ...

A question, that I hope, will bring a smile to your face ... 



I've had this sweatshirt for several years, and every time I wear it, I get lots of comments!  My hubby gets a kick out of me wearing it and with a twinkle in his eyes always, always with a resounding tone in his voice says ... YES!  

I'd like to close out this year's Blogmas, by saying ...

Merry Christmas to each and every one of you!

Why I do Blogmas: 
 
It's no secret that I love everything about Christmas!  From the day after Thanksgiving till the last box of Christmas decor is packed away and put back in storage for the next year, I love every bit of it!   My husband and I are senior citizens who generally spend the holiday season alone.  While we do have lots of very good friends and our church family nearby, all of our children live far, far away and have children of their own to make holiday memories with within their own homes.  They are very thoughtful to include us in as much as possible via technology and we are so grateful to them for going beyond the extra mile to include us.   

I started doing Blogmas because I had a choice, either lose myself in sorrow over what I could not change or embrace the love I have for the season and share it with others.   I chose to share my joy in the journey not only with my children and grandchildren long-distance, but with others who love the season as I do and who just might find themselves spending the holidays alone as well. I hope in some small way you get a glimpse of holiday joy through these Blogmas posts and that it spills over into your life this holiday season!
