Merry Christmas!!!  So much has been going on for months.  It is a constant and I’m looking forward to spending the holidays with family and friends at a slower pace. I made a decision to have the Christmas spirit and not stress over anything.  So far, it’s working!!!  The difference this year from last is less “stuff” and more “family”!  We are having a huge family party with all of my siblings and families.  First time we are all together in a while.  We always wonder why after we visit, love and laugh!!!   We are having a feast, white elephant fun and a GAME!  My family loves a good game!!!  My Mom will be in her wonderful glory to see us all be together and to cuddle the grandchildren.   Our children will love being with their Grandma, Aunts and Uncles and cousins.  All to celebrate the birth of our Savior.  We anticipate the Holy Mass and celebrating this feast.  The birth of Our Lord!  The beauty at St. Peter’s is breathtaking.  So from our family to yours MERRY CHRI
