I guess maybe "threatened" wasn't the best choice of words. Maybe "discouraged" would be a better choice?Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-79950680822492198202021-12-22T20:29:47.588-05:002021-12-22T20:29:47.588-05:00"the very celebration of Christmas is being t..."the very celebration of Christmas is being threatened"<br />Seriously?

My childhood memories of Christmas are deep in my memory...maybe the details are kind of vague and blurred now, one year runs into the other, but there is this sense of peace and happiness that surrounds them...I was blessed to have a very loving and happy childhood/family, and the holidays were the highlights of every year. We tried to make it the same way for our kids and did the best we could even though we often lived too far from our "homes" to be with our parents for the holidays, but we still did the best we could. Our only grandson is now 22 and we've always lived too far apart to be together for Christmas, but we always tried to spend his birthday with him in October. Those are special memories for us. Thank you for stirring up these thoughts...it's all good. Have a blessed and wonderful Christmas with your family near. Joy Joy Joy! Praise we the Lord in heaven on high!<br />Pamela M.
