When I think of Christmas, I think of gifts.
My Dear Friends:
You are a gift,
a gift to the world.
Every time you are kind to someone,
encourage them,
lend them your ear,
give them your shoulder to cry on,
hold their hand when they’re afraid,
ask for their forgiveness,
forgive them,
pray for them,
and love them;
you are a gift.
Thank you for the gift of your friendship.
~ HUMP DAY CHRONICLES ~
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! May you be as blessed in 2015 as you have blessed me.

Looks like you have a properly white Christmas. After several days of above-freezing, the snow is gone here, and it’s been cloudy for two weeks. Very un-Christmas-y!
