THE GHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS PAST!
Christmas is just a day away now and
I'm excited. I like Christmas! But even through
there's no "Humbug" around here I will admit
I find myself visited by the ghosts of Christmas
past from time to time. I remember Christmas
morning when my brother and I ran to the
Christmas tree Christmas morning to see what
Santa had left for us. There was always an
electric train running around that tree. I remember
skating at a local pond with family members. I
had to depend on my big brother to keep me upright
most of the time. And I remember family members,
now long gone, who were part of our Christmas
gatherings when I was growing up. This year my
niece surprised me with an old toy Ferris Wheel,
a gift to me on one of those Christmas days so long
ago. After my Dad passed away the toy ended up
in my sister-in-law's house as a treasured antique.
She passed away this year and my niece was kind
enough to see that it came back to me. We shouldn't
live in the past. But it's a nice place to visit, especially
around Christmas. Hope you'll make some new
memories this year and that all your NEWS is good.
