Well, as I was doing a search on Christmas Trees (because I want to adorn this year in purple and gold, and I hope I will succeed  ), I came across this wonderful story about Santa being alive. I wanted to share this with you all:Merry Christmas It made me all sentimental, especially this year, 1st Xmas with my husband and the kids. Then I started thinking at my parents in Europe and all, and what I wish for Xmas. Truth is, I miss my "old" family, I miss my city, I miss the cold weather, with possible snow (I am now in Florida, imagine the difference between having 4 seasons -spring with nature blossoming back to life, summer all green, autumn with wonderful color changing and falling leaves, winters with freezing cold and snow-for all my life, and now being in a subtropical climate-feels like my spring in Fl winter!). But I have faith, I believe in Santa and I've realized that Christmas comes for everybody, no matter where you are, no matter who you are. Other things matter more, and you can find joy in everything that you come across or notice, the joy of life and a smile is a gift! It is the spirit of Christmas that brings celebration to our heart, and we can have it all year long!!! You just have to believe. What I wish for Christmas eventually? Nothing...nothing for me. I already have what I need and more - my husband and my piggies! I just wish the best for everyone who has less, for the ones who don't have a roof over their head, or a bed, a candy, or other things (for human beings)...or good food, proper environment to live in (for all other creatures, like our beloved animals). To those I wish I could bring a smile on their face, even for one day, to feel it is Christmas! I believe that the spirit of Christmas lies deep within our hearts and we can make things possible by being Santa's helpers all year around! We can bring Christmas for us, or for others, any day! An early Merry Merry Christmas to you all! I am so happy and thankful for all my daily Christmas gifts! Last edited by BubuCandyBlue; 12-02-08 at 09:54 am.       |

Thank you for sharing this. I have been the recipient of the generosity of others like you. After the death of my husband 2 years ago, so many people stepped in to help me and my two sons, now 4 and 11. I just want you to know how much people like you are appreciated!! |

I am glad I could share a little piece of myself. I love animals, and feel deeply hurt when I see them suffering. I just wanted to remind people that Christmas isn't the time for making good deeds (regarding people or animals), but all year around. And what you do has to come from the heart, with a sincere compassion, not thinking that you get something out of it! You can always share something with others, even if you have just a piece of bread. Even a word helps then nothing at all. As my husband says, if it were after me, our house would be a zoo, and we'd have nowhere to sleep. |
