MERRY CHRISTMAS
May Christmas bring you happiness and many dreams come true,
and may the joy you spread
throughout the year come back to you...
Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year
2014
"Christmas to me is a celebration, which
includes spending time with my family, decorating the Christmas tree and the entire
house, inside and out, and shopping, for the people I love. Doing this with the
people I love is what means the most to me.
Spending Christmas with my family is very important to me. We usually gather and celebrate in my house with my two children and 4 grandchildren. My sister, use to come as well… We spend the day baking cookies, making fudge and preparing a big Christmas dinner, with all the trimmings. The children love to see each other. They spend the day playing games and sharing their new gifts and toys that Santa Claus brought for each of them. They get so eager to decorate, that it is hard to restrain them.
We try to change the decorations, which we put out every year. The men finish up just about the same time as, we women and then it is time to decorate the tree together. The children love this the most. The tree is always real, and is usually six to seven feet tall. Most of the ornaments have been collected over the years and are very old. They have become real family treasures. We all have a favourite one that we each put on the tree. All the children put their First Christmas ornament on the tree that I brought, as a gift.
I am not usually a shopper, but during the Christmas season, I actually enjoy shopping. During the Christmas season, I love to shop. The stores are so beautifully decorated and very festive. I can easily get carried away, with spending so much money. I must admit the thought of spending too much money hardly comes to mind. I can just picture of look on the faces, of my family and that brings me so much joy.
I feel so fortunate, to have my family throughout the year, but especially, at Christmas time. When showing, my family just how much I love them and what exactly they mean to me. That is so very important to me. Christmas, for me is about being with family, loving each other and showing each other just exactly how we all feel."

Why People Don't Tell The Truth
The most dangerous untruths are truths moderately distorted.
~Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
Everyone tells a white lie on ocasion,
it 's just a question of why...
Some white lies save relationship,
some ease a hectic situation,and
others buy us time or a good feeling...?
The list could go on forever.
Stretching the truth is a natural component
of human instinct because it's the easy way out.
We all do it, so there is no reason
to deny it.
Honestly, I think the world is probably a better place because of our white lies.
As long as we aren't hurting others
or breaking the law,these
innocent lies can make life more pleasant.
They can absorb potential friction between our
varying personalities and
vacillating moods as we nudge into one
another on that quest through our
daily routine.
Most of these white lies only
stretch an interpretation of what
the truth actually is anyways.
Given our ridig optimism to each lead
a tailored ideal life, white lies simply
cushion us from ourselves...
However, it can destroy years of friendship ...
if only it was a real friendship?
With lies you may get ahead
in the world
but
you can never go back....
~ proverb~
