[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 612394, member: 6705"] Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday - like my Grandma and Mom before me. I love seeing the looks on others' faces as they open the [I]perfect [/I]gift, not usually expensive or big. My biggest challenge is finding an angel each year for my Mom... She used to get one every year for my Grandma, and I've carried on the tradition. Handmade, ceramic, resin, windchimes... A story. It's the magic that I love. The feeling that anything is possible, everything is possible. Waking very early and sitting by the tree with a cup of coffee... Slowly opening gifts, stopping in the middle for breakfast. The night before, watching my kids light luminaria with my parents. (Weird looks in Ohio, but ya-ta-hey.) Falling asleep under the tree after everything is open and we're all wiped out. Thanksgiving is truly a day of thanks and I HATE spending it without my parents. This has only happened a couple of times and it just wasn't right to me. Christmas without them only once in 40 (almost 41) Christmases and it sucked, too. [/QUOTE]
