Mircle Times of Christmas

Ti's the night before Christmas, all my list are complete. The trees are shinning with colors so bright.
My, oh my, how did I do it? With each ticking moment the presents were wrapped.
Our family room tree wearing ornaments from near and far. They came from Georgia, and as far as Holland and Russia. From around the world they gathered for our holiday season.
Our stockings were unavailable but we made due. They were hung with eco-friendly, reusable bags for the whole year through.
While everyone slept with visions of fun, the guard pups guarded waiting for presents to come. They spotted their basket with toys, cookies and chewies. How can you sleep? When waiting for something new.
I love Christmas Eve night, when everyone is asleep. Everything is done and ready for the big day ahead. There is always a peace that settles over our household. Sometimes I enjoy a cup of hot chocolate and enjoy the lights. Is is always worth all the work when this time comes. I look forward to hearing the song, Mary Did You Know? What special moment do you enjoy at Christmas? Is there a time, place or maybe a song? Christmas is truly a time of miracles, big and small. What miracles do you wish for? Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season.

Mary Did You Know...is one of my favorite songs at Christmas, too. I agree with you, Chere, the holidays are always worth the hard work. Have a wonderful holiday and be sure to check to see who wins the Christmas box!

Hi Chere! Called back to see you. Nice to see your pooches - I lost one (Oscar) in May and now have a ten month old Border Terrier, Tess - the light of my life. Call and see me again. Happy New Year to you and the dogs.
