This year has gone by so quickly. It's hard to believe it's time for Christmas 2012.
I have such a wonderful family. I love them all. I am so grateful for each member of my family. I love my husband. We've been married 35 years. I've known him since I was a teenager. He keeps my feet warm at night. I always feel so safe when I am with him.
I am so grateful for my two wonderful sons. They are so strong, hard working and smart. They love their mother so much. They envelope me with their love. They filled my heart when they were born. They've always treated me with great respect, love and tenderness. I am grateful for my daughter-in-law and grandchildren. They love me. I love them. We are all so close.
Every Christmas, we wake up early, everyone comes over. I make them Hot Chocolate and we watch Christmas Movies. We hold each other close. We open gifts together. My biggest gift is their warmth and love. After opening gifts, I make them a delicious breakfast. Then we sit back and relax and enjoy family. In the afternoon/evening, we all go to our son's house and play games and snack. We enjoy just being together.
My brothers and sisters all hold their families close and share Christmas time together. We call, text or Facebook each other, to share our family stories through the holidays.
I know there are sad times across the country and across the world, but each of us should remember the good times too and hold each member of our family close, with love and thankfulness. We do live in a Wonderful Country. As we Thank God for all our Blessings, May God Bless Us All, Everyone!

The Life and Adventures of Santa - The Illegal Immigrant!

His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples so merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
He wore a sombrero and nice red suit
His white hair so fluffy, he looked very cute!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
Working so hard, Working to save!
Sending home dollars and always so brave!
I think he was illegal though I didn’t know for sure.
All I could see were his motives so pure.
No passport. No papers. He just dropped in.
I could hear the ANTIs say, “How dare him!!”
All the families received him just fine!
They embraced him and offered him wine.
I wondered if he heard all the rants!
Accountable for all illegals´accidents.
The Antis were angry! Would they post a website?
Would they call in Arpaio or ICE Raid tonight?
Thrown in a Detention Center with torture to bear?
Or jailed and forced to wear pink underwear?
I need not have worried. He was a wise man
This globalized guy. He did understand.
When he finished his work.
He filled all the stockings and turned with a jerk.
Then waving a finger, aside of his nose.
And giving a nod. Up the chimney he rose.
And as I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of site,
“Feliz Navidad to all and to all a goodnight.”
