Barksum,
I think the Christmas you described sounds absolutely wonderful! I'm always so frustrated and saddened that Christmas has come to be so much about the number of presents and the amount spent.
Leena, my little girl still thanks me over & over if I buy her a toothbrush or something equally as mundane. My son, who's 6, thanks me at almost every meal, with his sweet, "Thanks for making this for me, mommy. It's good." Makes me happy to fill their little hearts & tummies, but makes me sad that eating a decent meal or having a toothbrush is a big deal to them--'ya know?
Totally a different subject, but I hadn't noticed the new "smilie"
until just now. I can imagine that on this board, it will be used quite FREQUENTLY!!! Maybe we can fit in a few of these
too!
Have a good night everyone!
