Best holiday memories...

OUr favorite Christmas is one that stays with my children. I always thought it was more of tragic but each one of the kids will repeat it at a favorite Christmas memory.
When the kids were young, I was single mom. We had very little money. Christmas was always stressful for me as I worried I wouldn't be able to provide a good Christmas for them.
I was working 3 jobs that year. We had an old Christmas tree. It was falling apart. We were having dinner and the base cracked and I just couldn't fix it. I picked up that tree, ornaments and all and through the entire thing out the front door.
The next night, the kids and I all took a giant roll of paper. We made a paper Christmas tree. Colored it green, drew all the ornaments, the star. We worked on it for hours. The kids were so proud of the tree that they hung it up over the TV. They would rather look at the tree then then watch TV.
I know today it was that memory that taught me the importance of family. That it didn't matter how little we had, we had each other.

<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>There's something to be said about the warmth of a home, and your family on Christmas. Not just the physical warmth from the oven, but the warmth and love you feel from being with the people who mean the most in the world to you. </end quote></div>

There is this email that goes around...The funny things Kids say about love. Omg it is sooooooo precious!!!!

well anyway one of the kids said "Love is when you take a minute and everything is quiet on Christmas morning...that is the sound of love." It is so true and its so wonderful to be around family and 'feel' and "hear" that love.
