Thanks for the kind comments. I have not mentioned anything to you all before but I am from a broken home. My father is a very bitter man who has never been to see me during the Christmas season. He does not celebrate Christmas. My mother was always the driving force behind Christmas. When she got sick several years ago Christmas faded away in the household. My wife Jeannette does not have any family either so Christmas has always been just the two of us and our 2 golden retrievers.
While we live in a big home it is a very empty home which is why I try my best to fill it with as much joy as I can during the holiday season. All of the people on our street have big families and there is always lots of excitement during the holidays.
I pray that you and your families are able to be together this Christmas and that one day I will be able to get to feel what that is like once again.
