Walking around our neighborhood I see a lot of people starting to decorate their houses with lights and a wreath on the door. That is my cue to start getting ready for Christmas too. This year includes the Christmas wreath which is not going to be hung outside.
oTo me Christmas is celebrating it with my mother and my kids. My father passed away due to a medical mistake when I was 9 years old on December 13th but my mother always made sure to let me have a proper Christmas eventhough the first years must have been hard for her Without the love of her life.
Now my mother is 90. She looks forward to spending Christmas with us. The whole year she will talk about the upcoming Christmas. We don’t make a lot of food but that is ok. We make it extra special with menu cards and a nicely set table every year especially for her. Very well realising that it can be the last Christmas we will spend together.
So to me Christmas is spending it with my mom and my kids. Just being thankfull she is still around.
