So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Take several miniature christmas trees and adorn it with little metallic kiss chocolates and candy canes. When your childrens friends come over to visit, guess who will be the most popular kid in school tomorrow?

Remember to hang your stockings by the fireplace. If you have no chimneys in your house, you can mount these present fillers by the wall or stairwell instead.
