I just wanted to take a moment to wish all of you
– my readers, my friends, my Facebook friends –
a very, very Merry Christmas.
Personally, I’ve struggled through this holiday ever since my dad passed away. He was Christmas. Growing up it was his imagination and antics that made Christmas just absolutely magical. I miss that and I miss him.
I’m also missing my grandbabies more than I can put into words..
And lately, I’ve been living in a daycare. Not literally but it feels like it. First my son got sick, then me and my daughter-in-law, and so it goes, round n’ round. We’re on round two right now.
Compartmentalizing all of that as I tend to do. I’m quite enjoying the sights and sounds and festivities – AND GOODIES – here at home and throughout the city. We’ve even gotten some significant snowfall here in the valley and more is on the way so definitely a white Christmas ahead. That makes me smile.
I hope Santa spoils each and every one of you and gives you all that you wish for.
Again, Merry Christmas to you all.
Mimi’s quote for the day –




Merry Christmas!
Thank you Cranky. Same to you and Mrs. C.
Very merry Christmas to you my friend!

Merry, Merry Christmas to you Tracie! I hope Santa is very good to you. :)
Hugs, dearest Mimi! Festivals invariably bring a tinge of sadness for me ever since my Mom passed away. And now, we hardly celebrate any since son’s away in college. Instead, I try my best to brighten lives at the local welfare homes. Brings so much peace.
Love to you and wishing you good health and peace this Christmas season! ♥
Thank you for being a kindred spirit Vidya. Love to you as well and may your holidays be merry and bright, and may the New Year bring you all that is lovely and true. <3
A Very Merry Christmas to you and yours! Wishing you all the best in the New Year. 🎄
Thank you Julie. To you as well and may the New Year bring you and yours, peace, love and lots of smiles. :)
Mimi, may the joy of your memories overcome your sadness. Wishing you peace and joy this Christmas and every day.
Your comment makes me smile Bernadette. The joy of my memories makes me smile at first, or laugh, or both and then it’s the ugly cry. :) Thank you… May your New Year be filled with smiles. Hugs to you. <3
Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and a fantastic New Year! And sending you a huge hug and much MUCH love. <3
Thank you Lily. You know I can feel that hug and love across the pond and I’m sending it right back to you. <3 Here's to a fabulous 2017 because it must be so. <3

Merry Christmas to you Joanne. Nope. I missed mass for the first time in forever. Didn’t want to pass the “bug” along.
