There is a difference in the way Christmas is experienced as we grow older and I hadn't seen it expressed this way before.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!Waylonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533895509055020394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-1904837240115380462013-12-16T08:18:45.897-05:002013-12-16T08:18:45.897-05:00I'm sorry that I've been absent!

So eloquent and so meaningful!<br /><br /><i>there will never be a Christmas as magical, nor snow as magnificent as that which we experienced as children </i><br /><br />True enough. We can't really go home again -- except in our hearts and in our imagination.<br /><br />However, this Christmas 2013 is turning into a magical one for the AOW household because of Decorate A Vet and the gathering that we attended yesterday. We each received a Christmas surprise at the gathering. Most important, we enjoyed fellowship. For a few hours, Mr. AOW and I forgot our grief: we had received news of the passing of one of our dearest friends and contemporaries the night before the gathering. <br /><br />This year, we in the D.C. area have even had a pre-Christmas snowfall (although mow of it is now gone and Christmas Day itself will likely be balmy for this area).<br /><br />No matter the balmy weather that's coming! We don't need snow to make Christmas magical. Besides, even if a Christmas isn't magical, it's still Christmas and special in its own right.<br /><br /><b>MERRY CHRISTMAS!</b>Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.com
