Sometimes I think....The holidays are.....

The holiday season is sometimes a whole lot of work and adds much stress....mostly to women, (honestly guys.....you get off pretty easy) !

Sometimes I think they are way over rated, very expensive, and many times the true meaning of Christmas is far from many minds. This year something very special happened, that in telling would devalue the experience....lets just say we should always "believe" in Saint Nick!

However, all the work in decorating and cooking, shopping, and entertaining is all worth it, especially when you have children....My childhood memories are now like golden nuggets that I cherish, spent with so many loved ones that cared enough to make it special for us kids...

Those wonderful people are now gone, and the wonderful memories of love in the making are in my heart still, and now fully appreciated.

Someday, I hope that's how my son will feel when he is a dad!
