Merry Christmas

And so this is Christmas, and what have you done.  Another year over, a new ones begun...a very merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year, let's hope it's a good one, without any fear.

Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o'er the plains, And the mountains in reply. Echoing their joyous strains.
I don't want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need, I don't care about the presents underneath my Christmas tree
Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the new born king, peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinner reconciled.
I love Christmas carols, I love Christmas.  One of my very favorite things that happened during this time of the year wasn't the year I got my Barbie camper with all of the neat playing pieces, although it was pretty freakin sweet, but was I had my daughter Katheryn Noelle on December 24th.
I don't want a lot for Christmas.  I want my family and friends to be happy and healthy.  To know even though the road might be hard right now, things will get better.  The easiest path isn't always the right path.
And the things I do want, really want can't possibly happen in real life, so I dream them.  I would love to lay down to sleep on a cloud.  I would love to speak to my dad one more time.  I would love to be every thing I ever dreamed of being.  I would love to walk Beau.  I would love to save every good dream I have ever had so I can revisit them.  So I dream and always will. 
I would love to see my friends, my far away friends too, whenever I wanted.  Just to have a cup of coffee and talk.
I don't want a lot for Christmas.  I have every thing I need, and most of what I want.
So my short Christmas blog is to wish all of those that mean so much to me a peaceful and beautiful Christmas.  That the feeling we have on Christmas morning lasts all year long.  
Thank you for being a part of my life, without you all, my life wouldn't be as awesome as it is.
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.  An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.  But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.  Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.  This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays, or whatever greeting you'd prefer.  It is offered with the most genuine love I have.
