I pray you and your family have a blessed Christmas day. Christmas traditions like gathering with the family for a good meal and exchanging gifts are great memories. I hope you will take the time while the family is all together to count your blessing and be grateful for the help God has given your family in 2024. Remember Jesus is the reason for the season.
If you don’t celebrate Christmas, I wish you and your family the best leading up to the New Year. May 2025 bring you great joy.
Melinda

I like it that way because he is a procrastinator and if he didn’t get done at once it might stay out all year. :)

I worked out when I last celebrated Christmas just the other night. It was 2005.
I started working for the Coroner in 2008, and the amount of people who killed themselves was really shocking. This confirmed my decision to avoid Christmas. As I said…I’m very happy if people enjoy it. Gavin.

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful prayers. Wishing you and your family a Blessed Christmas as well, filled with love, Joy, and cherished memories. I truly appreciate the reminder to be grateful for all the blessings of the year. May 2025 bring you Peace, Happiness, and Continued Blessings.
As it says in Philippians 4:6-7, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
