Didier-Darroch 2008 Christmas Tree

The holidays have been really nice this year. Although Christmas Day itself was rather quiet we were able to spend time with all three kids over the holidays. We were also able to spend time with our two nieces, and my Sister.

Our dinner turned out to be perfect, an achievement in, and of itself as I cooked the turkey this year.

We managed to make certain everyone in our extended family received a gift without going into debt. And we received many lovely gifts including a surprise homemade pumpkin bread, and chocolate fudge from our neighbours, which was very yummy Christmas morning.

And the greatest blessing of all is that two people who are both very ill, and were not expected to be with us are still here for this holiday, and hopefully much, much longer thanks to great advances in the treatment of cancer.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday, no matter which one you celebrate and all the best to you dear reader in 2009.

I am glad your family was together and those expected not to be here were here and that you had a great holiday. May health and good fortune find their way to you in 2009,

I am glad you had a peaceful Christmas. I hope your health is much improved and remains so in the future.

I am glad your loved ones are still on this Earth. Many blog friends have lost loved ones, some ON Christmas Day. That would take the starch right out of me.

I am late but decided to look up last week's post and leave a comment anyway. It sounds like the blessings of Christmas were very evident at your celebration! I didn't make the rounds last week because I had trouble uploading to blogger.
