Favorite Christmas
I'm not sure what my most favorite Christmas would be. Christmas is a joyful time, full of family sharing and being together.
One Christmas, my mother decided that she would invite some people to join us; a recent widow, a grandfather from another town, and two couples who's kids were not inviting them!
My mother always made everyone feel as if God had reserved a special place for them at the table! The furniture was newly polished, the tablecloth was on, and the Christmas tree was lovely.She played wonderful Christmas music and she wore a fun long dress; very Christmas like!
After a leisurely meal the kids were trying out their presents.I remember being twice grateful; once for the spirit of the event and the blessings of family and two for my wonderful mother and my family.

Natalie, i am so glad you have such wonderful memories of Christmas. I remember the wonder you feel of all the beautiful music, trees, foodand times with family and how much a person looked forward to it. I hope someday i get that feeling back.
Love, lisa jo
That is so wonderful you were able to grow up with a mother as caring and loving both about her own family and about others that needed some love also. :)
Hugs and love,
Lisa
