Merry Christmas! Thank you for this beautiful eloquent piece. The wistful mix of joy and hope and melancholy this season always holds for me - you nailed it.
Happy Heavenly Birthday to your mom!! My mom, too, would be 101, on December 27th. I think of her every day and so wish I could just pick up the phone for a chat. I have many of her ornaments on my tree, a peaceful reminder of years gone by. Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!❤️🎄
Love this song and your piece on it, Karen. My mother would be 103 on December 19th. She and I would dress up in snowmobile outfits and walk out on frozen Lake James near Houghton Lake, Michigan. We would sing every Christmas carol we could think of, and then start over if we weren't too cold. My dad and two brothers never joined us although they were invited.
The ornament is beautiful! You have taken good care of it all these years. ❤️ wonderful story too!! Merry! Merry to all!
