It's Christmas Eve!!
I know you all are busy right now with the holidays, so I'll keep it brief here! Our grandson came yesterday and it was "our" day with him so he could open his gifts that Santa had left for him here. Out of all the dinners and celebrations we have for Christmas, "Tyler's day" is always my favorite. Nothing compares to the joy of a child opening Christmas gifts. I love watching him open his gifts. (Almost makes ME feel like a kid again!). He played for hours, then "T~Pa" made lunch...turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, the whole nine yards ya know. It was delish I might add! (I prefer ham but we have THAT at Ma's tomorrow for Christmas breakfast!) That afternoon, Tyler and I started making cookies. We only made sugar cookies and M&M cookies, cuz Lord only knows we don't NEED them! I made them and he cut out the sugar cookies and sprinkled them, he was a bit of a sprinkle~hog but he did a beautiful job! But by the time we got to the M&M cookies he had already lost interest and I was on my own after that. It was a great day, but it was also a bittersweet one, because there was something missing. Our other grandson, Aidan. He and his mom and dad live in a galaxy far, far away (New York). All through the day, I kept wishing he was here with us too. (His mom and dad too of course..lol) But I could do a hundred "I wishes." "I wish" money wasn't so tight, so that Tim could visit them when he wanted and as often as he wanted to. "I wish" we/they lived closer. "I wish" I wasn't the way I was about leaving the house so I could visit them too. I wish, I wish. It makes the heart ache...all the things we can't change but wish we could. And if my Mammy was here, she'd tell me, "Cissy, you're wishing your life away." I guess I am but at times it's hard not to, ya know? But with that said, I know I can almost speak for all of you who are reading this too, when I say, while we may not HAVE much, I'm so very thankful for what we DO have. Which is a beautiful family and wonderful friends. I'm grateful for every single pic, phone call and email I get and I cherish them all. Family and Friends is what it's all about and I've been "blessed with the best." A final wish for you all... I wish and pray that the New Year brings you all much happiness, love and peace. I pray that any troubles you have now will cease to exist in the new, upcoming year. May the Lord bless you and keep you. And for the non~believers, my wish for you is the same. I just wanted to say thank you to all of you that come by and visit this little blog of mine. When I started it, I had no idea how much I would enjoy it and just wanted you to know that I appreciate each and every one of you. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas, a Happy Holidays and the gift of a beautiful New Year! Thanks for stopping by and taking time out of your special day to visit with me! Be good and be pretty and as always... ✻ღϠ₡ღ✻ God Bless ✻ღϠ₡ღ✻ |
