I read your last couple of posts ...Happy Holidays. I read your last couple of posts backwards starting at the top and reading down. I was truly touched. I used to have Christmas traditions also, but both of my grandparents have since died and my family has fractured, aunt and uncles don't speak, and the grandchildren are no longer able to speak. It's sad for me, my favorite part of Christmas was being around my family and having our little traditions. It made me immensly happy. Reading about yours made me weepy with happiness, I remembered how my Grannie would bring us all together and love every present equally and made all of us feel special. I felt her with me yesterday, and I feel her again now.<BR/>Thank you.<BR/>Happy Holidays!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-1135438894656885812005-12-24T10:41:00.000-05:002005-12-24T10:41:00.000-05:00Sounds wonderful.

I usually resist, because what I usually want is just what you describe: gifts of heart, not gifts from a store or list....

If you receive one, please post a picture of it for those like me who don't get out much.<BR/><BR/>My sister was a computer science major in the dark ages of punch cards, so for years many of us used old punch cards for bookmarks and phone messages. <BR/><BR/>Tonight I received my new copy of Smithsonian magazine and was thrilled to have all the little subscription cards in it since I had run out of bookmarks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-1135398212805282692005-12-23T23:23:00.000-05:002005-12-23T23:23:00.000-05:00sigh....would you adopt me?

It was a very proud moment when I handed over that Christmas present to an elderly great aunt that I decided really needed it. <BR/><BR/>Sadly, i don't think I ever made a bookmark (Of course I don't use them, being an unrepentant page folder).<BR/><BR/>Have a very merry one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
