I'm Back

I still don't have access to my computer at my house but hope to within the next couple of weeks. Thanks to those who have stopped in just to check on me. I have been busy dealing with good ole family stuff and trying to get into the spirit of the holidays. I love Christmas - I have since I was a child. Growing up all over this country and now living in Texas - I miss the Christmas with the snow like when I lived in Omaha or Michigan (mind you I don't miss the clearing of sidewalks) - but waking up to a cold white Christmas - I miss that. Which must be why I decorate in Snowmen every year. Snowmen and the Peanuts. I love the Peanuts gang. I watch their Christmas show every year and even during the year on DVD. Hearing the theme for them just makes me smile. And while some things about Christmas have become so commercialism, these things they keep it simple for me which is why I love this time of year. I still love to go and look at Christmas lights just like a little kids I hang out my vehicle window and take them all in. I love to give gifts just to see a person's face light up. I love to send cards. I don't give gifts/cards to get the same back I do it because I love it. The people I love to give a card or small gift to are the ones who seem to have a bad time during this time of the year. For whatever reason (lonely, just don't feel it, etc.) they are the ones I love to put a smile on with just a small simple gesture. Does it make me a good/bad person - I don't know and truthfully I don't care - it makes me happy. Should I try to be this way all year long - you bet and I do but just during this time does it seem more personal to me. Peace to you all and I will write again soon.
