non-traditional Christmas

so, I found this image titled “non-traditonal Christmas” on the Coastal Living web-site.  It is cute.   It gives me the opportunity to mention this:   I am saddened by the changes from Merry Christmas to Happy Holidays,  or the dreaded   xmas  ………………       Let us all remember that this holiday is all about Christ……………………..          Be blessed this Christmas season, and more importantly, be a blessing…………………..

my heart beats strongly for these two

here is a glimpse into my life,  a little story about my parents…………   I LOVE them!!!
