Happy Holidays To All My Friends And Readers At AD. May The New Year hold only blessings for you. I've not been able to be here as often as I wish I could. Forgive me and thank you for reading me when I couldn't be here to read you. I love and appreciate All Of You.
I’m glad now that there were too many
gaudy decorations on the front yard
for grandkids to help with and enjoy
I’m glad the house was spotless and
scented with cinnamon apple candles
It's good we dragged the ten foot tree in
and wrapped too many lights around it
I’m grateful for a few presents under it
It’s good those strands of lighted bells
made us all feel joy when they played
the old familiar Christmas carols again
Taking time to set up the Nativity Scene
kept us focused on the real celebration
I feel warm satisfaction remembering
I cooked all day, had turkey and ham
with all the trimmings on the big table
where we all sat down to eat and laugh
The fire on the hearth blazed with joy
I’m glad there was no strife or sorrow
for it’s a Christmas I’ll forever cherish
Our whole family together and happy
A special Christmas that I’m thankful for
and I’m glad it was celebrated as it was
because I didn’t know last Christmas
would be the last time we’d all gather
the last one we would celebrate together
So make each Christmas memorable,
Decorate the tree, cook the turkey and
gather the ones you love close to you
for you never know if it will be…..the last

There's a bittersweet tone here, Belle, and a gentle well-delivered lesson, not preachy but very much to the point, and of course the writing is, as ever, a delight for the reader.
Belle, I have so much to be thankful for and your words help to reinforce that feeling. Thank you and here's hoping you and yours all enjoy a fantastic holiday season. Dick
Thank you so much for this Christmas message! We all should make every holiday memorable because we never know when it could be our last. Merry Christmas to you Belle! Love, and peace always! Chessly
A treasure. You express beautifully here what is deep in the heart. It is a time to be grateful and to be glad for each person in our lives.
Joy-filled holidays to you,

Christmas - only days away; plastic snowmen and glowing reindeer adorn the lawns of neighborhoods all across America. All is calm, all is bright, and yet there is something tragically wrong about this Christmas night.
