Honestly, lately it seems common decency isn’t all that common on some of these threads. Sorry for your loss, Allegra.
Thank you. Yes, there are some pretty low people on here, but I always just consider the source. I pity people like that, really.
Mother loved Christmas and we always miss her especially around this time of year, but we also pay homage to her and the memories she made for us by making our own Christmases as festive as can be.
Some siblings and I (there are five of us) are converging on Dad's place in Virginia this year and those gatherings are always filled with warmth and lots of laughter.
Considering where I was last Christmas, I'm really going to enjoy this one!
