Christmas Eve!
Its time for jolly fat guys dressed in red to do a little breaking and entering, time for gravity-defying reindeer, time for Jimmy Stewart to run through the snow-covered streets of Bedford Falls. Its time for the annual recitation of Twas The Night Before Christmas and maybe, just maybe, you'll hear hooves on your roof tonight. Its time for mistletoe and eggnog and and endless stream of Christmas music you've heard so many times before but still enjoy. Its time for cooking, eating way too much, tearing open your gifts and watching others' faces as they open theirs. Most importantly, perhaps, its time to surround yourself with the family and friends you love.
I say it all the time but its true, you guys really and truly rock. Thank you for letting me into your homes and onto your computer screens over the last year. I'm really, honestly very thankful for that...for your emails, comments and friendship. Its been an interesting year, not all of it good. But I'm better off for your friendship.
Whether you celebrate them or not, I wish you all a very merry holiday season. I leave you, this Christmas Eve, with a little bit of holiday groove. Right click and 'save as' please.
Posted by Chris at December 24, 2004 10:51 AM | TrackBackI don't celebrate it but I will take all of the good wishes I can get. Same to you and yours and enjoy the rest of your 5 day weekend.
Posted by: LOUP at December 24, 2004 10:56 AMPretty blue Christmas balls. I'm afraid once I have my own house and a full sized tree (I have a wee one at the moment) I'm going to be one of those anal retentive people for whom everything simple has to match.
Merry Christmas, and I hope you have a great time with family!
MERRrrY CHRISSSTMAS.. sorry for the shudder but it's freezing in these parts. Stay warm and enjoy!
