December 25th~ Merry Christmas to All🎄

🎄 Christmas is doing a little
 something extra for someone🎄


I am grateful to have my sister and my parents 
in Florida this year.  Nina, David, Danielle, Andrew, 
(Wally Popeye, their doggie), Max and Kelsey are all 
in Florida.  Arvid and I are very happy to see Danielle.  
We have not seen her since her wedding day in 2022.


Everyday I am grateful for all the blessings in 
our lives.  For family, for Arvid and Sniff and all the 
ones I have loved who are no longer here.  From each
 I have something special no one can take away.


Mom and dad as mentioned before now are back 
in Florida.  Lucky me, I get to spend special days
 again with them.  For that I am always grateful.


As a child growing up in Puerto Rico, Christmas
 was always a special time.  Not because we had 
lots of presents, that we didn't, but because we had 
love every which way we turned.  That we still 
do, but the feeling is a bit different as an adult.


 I believe that I/we have been very fortunate
 to have been raised in Puerto Rico where some
 of the nicest, warmest people on earth live.


Those memories are forever a part of me. 
 Each day/year we make new memories, but
 some are forever embedded in our hearts. 


The smells of Christmas
 are the smells of childhood...
