Christmas


Of course, Christmas is for children, especially for non-Christian families such as ours. I know that I enjoy the time more with Sarah around. As I got older and older without children, I think I turned more and more into a scrooge. Now, though, the Christmas cartoon specials bring back memories of my childhood. The decorations remind me of how much I enjoyed the Christmas tree, the lights, and time-worn knickknacks that had been around my whole life. I even find myself letting go of all the trappings of religion and just enjoying the songs and food and people around me.

New traditions start with our little family, and, hopefully, Sarah will bring into her adulthood good memories of fun, sharing, caring, maybe a bit of the mystery that is life. It's good to have something to which to look forward. Time is short. Merry Christmas.

Big Girl Room



Mommy has made some changes recently to Sarah's room since our baby isn't so much a baby anymore. Sarah now has a cool quilt and curtains...curtains with some bling!
