Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! The weekend the kiddies have all been waiting for has come and it will go just as quick. I think I'm ready, not sure yet, I might be sure by tomorrow night. LOL I have to work tonight until 10 and tomorrow until 5 then we are off to my in-laws for the family pot luck supper.

It's a bittersweet time for me, I love to watch my children enjoy Christmas time but I also miss my family. My Dad and Nan, my Grammie and Grandfather, my Mom, who turned into a troll and I have nothing to do with and my sister and her children who are on the west coast.

Here's a poem I like to read around Christmas time:

Christmas In Heaven
I see the countless Christmas trees
around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars,
reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular,
please wipe away the tear.
For I am spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs
that people hold so dear.
But the sounds of music can't compare
with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you,
the joy their voices bring,
for it is beyond description,
to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart.
But I am not so far away,
we really aren't apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones,
you know I hold you dear.
And be glad I'm spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift,
from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory
of my undying love.
After all, love is a gift more precious
than pure gold.
It was always most important
in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other,
as my Father said to do.
For I can't count the blessings or love
He has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and
wipe away that tear.
Remember, I am spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.
