Non-parody Christmas-at-the-Perspective PING!
Instead of being a time of unusual behavior, Christmas is perhaps the only time in the year when people can obey their natural impulses and express their true sentiments without feeling self-conscious and, perhaps, foolish. Christmas, in short, is about the only chance a man has to be himself. ~Francis C. Farley
This was my runner up, although I think Francis should really relegate this to some people, not all. I work very hard at being Christmas all year 'round : )
Now this one...
The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other. ~Burton Hillis
was my favorite, because it brought hot sweet tears to my eyes.
The first reason, because we did not have one of our children at home last year, he spent Christmas at Parris Island, and we are blessed beyond measure by his presence this year.
The second reason, is (see my homepage) my father taught us how important family is, and we dare not forget it.
Merry Christmas! Dad would love these 12 Days you've presented!! What are you going to do for the REAL 12 Days?? LOL!
