Merry Christmas !

As a child, my mama and daddy always saw to it that Christmas was the most wonderful time of the year. Every year — for years on end — I always got whatever was my heart's desire for Christmas.

Later, after my daddy passed my mom gave me the most wonderful stepfather imaginable. He pretty much turned Christmas into a 365 day a year event for me and advised me regarding life and career and I have been truly blessed.

Though I now have only memories of my daddy and stepfather they both remain in my heart as parts of me which I'll never let go.

I hope everyone has the opportunity to know that unconditional love available only from those special people who love you enough to take you as their own ... your folks.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Merry Christmas !

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
