We used to have an angel. Then year before last OUr friends were over and their son COULD NOT believe we didn't have a star because that is what God put in the sky for us to find Jesus, right? Right!

25. What I love most about Christmas?
I love that Ira loves Christmas. I have seen recently some dear friends whose husbands do nothing with Christmas planning, shopping and the like. It is so sad that they do not get to enjoy it with their husbands. The husbands get all the benefit of all of the work that goes into it. So sad...
Ira loves Christmas, more than I ever did. Christmas used to be sad for me because of growing up withOUt my parents. But not anymore. Ira gets so excited that it brings joy to my heart watching his excitement in everything about Christmas.
With that said, I hope ALL of you had a happy/good/GREAT Christmas!!!.
With thanks, to...(because I copied and pasted it)
