“Merry Christmas!”

There. I said it.

Not “Happy Holidays”.

Not “Season’s Greetings”

But “Merry Christmas!”

“Merry Christmas!!” Oh boy, that sure felt good…but…

…why the heck are you here, reading this right now? You should be surrounding yourself with friends, family, colleagues and anyone else who is important to you. You should be enjoying egg nog, cocoa, coffee, tea or whatever your preferred beverage happens to be…and you should be enjoying your beverage with grandma’s special Christmas cookies, gingerbread men and making gingerbread houses…after all, it’s Christmas Eve!


That is exactly what I’ll be doing after I post this and leave work. To me, that’s what Christmas is all about – spending time with loved ones making memories. The toys/clothes etc under the tree will be played with, broken, worn out and thrown away, but the memories will remain forever.

Go! Go now and make those memories…

oh…just one more thing…

“Merry Christmas!”


Memories of gatherings past…

I love words & enjoy the freedom of writing. I strive to find the exact word to convey not only my thoughts, but also my feelings. I desire to fill the paper with words much the same way an artist fills the canvas with paint. To me, writing is an art form.
