My first too. It was good, though. About the only negative thing about it was, that he isn't here. But I got to connect with all my siblings who are scattered all over the place, had good time with my parents here, and had a really good day today with my in-laws. My dog got a few nice presents too.
Truth be told, when Christmas was talked about shortly after his death, or on his last day, all I really wanted for Christmas was to freeze or reverse time, and to have my sweetie back. I'd even told him that in the hospital when he'd say he wasn't sure how much of it he'd be up to. I said I don't really want any presents; the only present I could want is him getting healthier. Well, he now has a perfect body with perfect health.........just, that new body no longer can hold my hand and cuddle with me. I'm glad he's not tired and sick anymore, but I miss him. Yet, Christmas in itself, brings new hope and new joy. That's what Jesus came to bring, and despite life's circumstances changing, that doesn't.
May all of you be blessed this holiday season.
