Being 79 (and 3/4, lol) I have been through a lot of Christmases. Both from memory and from old pictures, I can relive my Christmases (please, no "Xmas,") and see how my views, thoughts and ideas have changed over the years. I have a couple of pictures of Christmas at my grandparents house (Mom's parents.) Those were such great days. We would gt up, have our Christmas morning, eat breakfast, then head out to "Mamaw and Papaw's house" for Christmas with them. Then, Mom and her mom would whip up a really nice Christmas dinner. Mamaw had a nice dining area, so the table was covered with a nice tablecloth, the candles and deco were placed and out came the food. We'd say Grace, then dig in. Such wonderful memories.
I can also follow how the world has changed over the year. But one thing that has not changed is my belief that, with enough LOVE, you could conquer the world. So, while that may be missing in a lot of places and a lot of lives, Love LIVES. Love never stops caring and moving forward.
So, please, love each other. If there's something in your life that you don't like? Don't want to deal with? That's fine. Move on with your life. Look forward, not back. There is no room in a good and decent life for hatred. You can be mad, you can be angry. Those emotions you can work through and get over. But "hatred" has, very simply, no place in this wonderful world that we live in.
So I wish you all a happy, wonderful and merry Christmas. Please post your thoughts, desires, wishes, anything you'd like to say. I generally live my life through the music I like. So, here's a couple I like to start us off.
