thankful for. A great meal for the both of us. Watching the parade. A relaxing day with a little nap in the chair. Had to work a little, but so what. Not bad.
Now starts the crazy holiday time - I refuse to participate. Christmas is not about the crazy commercial side....I feel blessed that we know the real reason for the season - Jesus. That is what I will choose to focus on. So, gifts will be home-made. Decorations will keep focusing on Jesus, with Santa on the side....lights, now that night time comes sooner - trees - all the decorations that have many meanings and memories attached. Going to all the free community activities in our new home area, with those tree-lightings, decorations and family experiences - and hopefully we will have snow. A crackling fire in the fireplace. A cozy blanket. Each other. No other gifts required.
And photos of all of it - a lot of photos. I think that will be helpful should the Alzheimer's ever kick in for either of us. Photos and scrapbooks to help the memories stay alive. To show our grandkids, if we ever have any.
Off to address our Christmas cards and see if I can find my DVD of "Miracle on 34th Street" with Natalie Wood. The black and white version. On Donder and Blitzen.....
Be blessed,
Kim
