It was terrific to receive cards, online messages, and calls from many. It was fantastic and each one cherished.
Christmas Eve we delivered Christmas Cards of appreciation to the veterans at the VA Hospital. Each one also got a candy cane. The smiles as we passed them out made me joyous. Cards from the Dollar Tree plus time to write a hand-written note to let them know we appreciated their service and sacrifice and wishes for the New Year. That was all it took to share a little holiday happiness. A new holiday tradition is born (smile).
Last minute shopping, and a final look at Santa at the mall reminded me that my dad liked to shop on Christmas Eve.
Saw the movie Saving Mr. Banks about the creation of the Mary Poppins movie and love it. She has always represented new beginnings and possibilities to me. It was fun to see this movie as 2013 ends and 2014 begins.
Christmas here at the beach was wonderful I am blessed.
