Saddness is surrounding this Joyous Season.
I wanted to remember before now that Rich has a wonderful idea that he shared with his daughter for Christmas.
They would gather around and have a birthday cake with one candle on it and it was for the Baby Jesus. As it was His Birthday that they were there for. And then they would open their presents.
If you are new here and you don't yet know, this comes from Frank and Carolyn who have http://www.suddenlysenior.com/ who are advocates for the seniors, though I am sure I believe we can all find helpful things that they share. One is the jokes and stuff shared by their millions of readers. It is a little racy at times but here is something tame I found.
They published two things I shared and it is fun to know others are enjoying them. If you go there, Louise is from a friend of mine and the card is from a minister I enjoy in Hollywood with the UFellowship. She sent me the nicest one with two dogs and the 12 days of Christmas is from her card site.
So may you have a wonderful and happy time with all your kin and friends. I will be in NY for my father's funeral. I am being teased that I don't "Do" funerals. As I see them being for the living and very little to do with the ones who have left.
We are all disappointed that his health kept slipping. I guess he really was broken hearted loosing Mom after 50 years of marriage, and his words I cannot live without her and want to join her came to pass? We were hoping he would again enjoy the many things that are here on this Earth. But we know they are now back together.
I will be back a few days into Jan. I am taking cover with the friendlies who are in the family or going to sit quietly meditating in a corner! :-) As it is with Dad that I want to be with and was just making the suggestion of plans right before he left with my brother, his wife and my sister to go up and come back home.
Well I still have to do laundry and pack for my trip! Be well and Happy!
Peace! Me/LI

Here's to you, our dear friends and readers. We are well aware that you are obviously people of great intellect and taste.
We send love, hugs, and blessings from sunny, warm Florida (rubbing it in a bit here) to wherever you are.
LAST MINUTE REMINDERS, VERILY!
1. When thou bakes the holiday goodies, thou will treat thyself to some of the goodly ones and not just to the slightly burnt ones that ye would be too embarrassed to giveth unto others.
2. Yea, though ye walk through the mall on December 24th, ye shall not buy any singing fish, nor any pet rocks, no matter how desperate thou art to find something for thy brother-in-law.
3. When thy child's school doth gear up for another fund-raising sale of holiday wrapping paper, think ye of the thirty-seven unused rolls hiding in your closet -- and buy another five rolls as thou always dost.
4. When I regift unto you, and it turns out to be something you gave unto me, lo, these many years ago, just put it away to give unto me again next year. Have faith in this most venerable truth: I will never remember.
5. Ye will not tie onto thy animals reindeer antlers or bells that doth jingle. Thine grandchildren, however, art fair game.
6. Thou shalt not partake in the wearing of the matching grandmother-granddaughter outfits until someone figures out how to make the grandmother not looketh like a veritable idiot.
7. When thou deck the halls, I say unto you, the tinsel must be one strand at a time. Except when Thine wife turns her back, then ye may throw it on in clumps and no shame shall be upon ye.8. Thou shalt gain weight over the holidays. It is the way of all flesh. Get thee over it.
9. Verily, verily, I say unto you: No holiday decoration may be put up sooner than two weeks before the Great Day, and all must be taken down before the next Thanksgiving. Verily.
10. Thou shalt buy thyself one really great present and open it up in front of the family, exclaiming, "I love! it! But there be no card! Who giveth this unto me?" Wait to see if anyone art sneaky enough to claim credit
