Christmas. It seems a little bit shinier; a little bit brighter than the rest of the year. The spirit of Christmas prompts people to do caring things for others. It’s that season of loving and giving – not just to those we love, our families and friends, but people seem to reach out to see what they can find. So my wish, should it come true, would be to be Christmas, all year through. Celebrate. Each. Day.
I 💖 you. Yes, I do. The Season of Joy. Oh, Christmas, you do it every time.
Christmas brings the musing out in me. So many beautiful memories. A lifetime of happiness and joy in my world. And as is always, there must be a flower to color my world.
I dedicate the trees to #TreeTuesday by @Old-Guy-Photos. I want to thank him for hosting the tag each week. And just like that, these musings are done...and just so you know, although much sun and shine was used up today,giving way to the rain, I can guarantee that there is still a little left in my heart. Have a most fabulous day!

they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

People are such kind during Christmas time, people dress better and they greet each other. Good food in almost every home and of course giving and receiving gifts too at least here in my neck of the woods. @dswigle
Same here @cryptopie~!!
I wish it could be that way all year long. I am wondering how hard that would be? Seems like people would be able to do it.
What a wonderful world that would be~ Thanks for stopping in and saying hello!

There is so much love and gratitude in this post! It is literally overflowing!
When Jude was born in 2009 and my mom and I were living together – we started a Xmas tree tradition. When we moved in together, we bought one of those synthetic white trees and we each bought one glass/silver decoration for it… So on our first year, there were only 3 decorations on the tree… one from me, one from my mom and one on Jude’s behalf. We kept up this tradition every year and despite how sparce our tree looked, we knew that one day it would appear anything but!
The last couple of years we have not even put up the xmas tree as we have spent the entire festive season at my dads place in Fisherhaven – but last year, Jude asked to have Xmas at home because he wanted to enjoy it in his own space. The tree we had been using had gotten somewhat long in the tooth and relatively yellowed lol – so last year… even though my mom and I no longer live together, we did collectively decide to do something a little different for Jude’s “Home” Xmas tree. Out the front door of where we live is a long grassy canal stretch which has plenty of pepper trees… so my mom and I cut off a branch and shoved it into one of my wine vases hehe…
The end result was actually really beautiful! But the point of the story was sharing the tradition of each contributing one additional decoration (in silver only) for the tree each year... We have built quite a nice collection over the years! This year, we have bought a white tree, but we have not put it up as yet. I will be sure to share when we do!
Wow! The fact is that I actually do hold a lot of love and gratitude in my heart. I have been fortunate in so many ways through life and it does not get lost on me that things could have been a lot of different. So, although sometimes I probably sound like a soap box to so many people, I cannot help but to spread it again and again and again.
I want to thank you for sharing your story with us. There are so many things that are so telling about it, and I like the fact that you can share yourself so easily with all of us. What a wonderful way to bring up your son.
I love your tradition of each contributing another decoration in silver for the tree each year. I am sure by now there is a massive collection. I can hardly wait to see the white tree with all the beautiful ornaments on it and I look forward to it. Thank you again and I wish you a most wonderful day! And as usual I am running so far behind. Love to you XOXO

Christmas is really special occasion all over the world. It is the time where everybody is in a good mood, it is the time to be thankful for all the things we have. It is the time to celebrate and to give love to everyone.
Agreed. It is indeed a very special time of year. It should be this way all year long. Thank you for stopping by and saying hello.

Christmas does often bring out the kinder side of people and perhaps we need that feeling to stay throughout the year these days
We have little traditions over Christmas, mostly based on the extended family we spend Christmas with in MA, bu I am sure we have our own little traditions although I am having a brain fade on what they are at the moment
What a lovely post

That's okay! They are so traditional by now, you don't even think about them. It will be fun to see the kids again - and so soon! I am thinking of how awesome it will be to be in close proximity to them. :) Oh, wow! Life is about to change!
Thank you always! Have a super Wednesday!
!tip
Ohh yes indeed big changes ahead and getting closer day by day and being so close to the family will be great
Have a great day
I am truly happy for you!
Me too LOL ;)
