Christmas for me has been different as you may know it’s the first without my father who passed away in August. It’s been a good day I must say. Of course I miss my dad very much and I so wish he would have been with us today. I am grateful for the blessings of this day from the people I love. Christmas has its own chaos and I am glad to have made it through the past couple of days. I am glad to be off Thursday and Friday to have some time to rest and renew.

Thanks for your kindness and concern as I celebrated today. I really hope your Christmas Eve and Christmas Day was a good one. Remember there are 12 days of Christmas so the celebration continues. Hanukkah is something that shouldn’t be overlooked either.

Grace and peace good people. Happy Holidays.

It’s Christmas Eve and the third night of Hanukkah. It’s been cool to celebrate both. Now I’m craving some Latkes. Maybe later in the week.

To all my friends. Happiest of holidays.
