What Christmas is really about!

  Christmas to me is really about family.  Tonight I spent the evening with my family.  I had all my chicks under one roof for a little while.  Jessi and Jimmy came over with the baby.  We had supper and just visited with each other.  Tomorrow will be so busy that I just wanted a little family time of my own.  It was really nice.
   Yesterday,  I spent the day at my sister's house with both my sisters, all of my nieces,  Jessi and Butterbean and let's don't forget my brother in-law Dan.  Besides Snookie the dog and Puma the cat he was the only male in the house.  My two boys opted not to go. 

  I haven't seen Olivia - my youngest sister - since she moved to Tennessee in May.  She is doing really well and she looked so good and happy.  Gone was the gaunt, hollow, hopeless look.  In it's place is a healthy, happy, hopefull look.  She has made great strides and she is well on her way to becoming the woman she deserves to be.







  I always have fun with my sisters.  Next to Ricky,  Lea is the only person that can make me truely laugh.  As with him,  she is the only person I can be 100% myself with.  You know,  in the course of my day I have to be so many different things to so many different people.  I am comfortable just being me with her and vice versa.



  Tomorrow we will spend the day at Ms. Alice's with other half of my family.   They are a good bunch of folks too and I enjoy being with them.



   So to me,  Christmas is not about material things.  It's about family.  Mine is the single most important aspect in my life.  The true meaning of Christmas is love and family.
   God sent his son Jesus to us out of love for us so that we could become part of His family.

  

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
