Well, hello to all my Gather friends, it seems that the joy of the season is upon us!  How did it ever come so quickly????  Did it come from a lack of caring throughout the year or did it just suddenly hit us?  I am sure we could answer that for us it was a little of both.  But just rememember.  Christmas is  a time when the wise men brought gifts to Jesus so we must give to those who are in need more than we courselves (may be hard to believe, but it is true)  I have always taught my children thtat the more you give away, the more you will receive in turn, not must in monetaty things bit in peace of mind and thewonderful sense of the spirit of Christmas!  God bless You All My Merry Gatherman!

Deb, it was the same 365 days as of old. We just cram too much into out lives now days.The time gets away from us, and my mother always said time goes more quickly as you get older. I try to live Christmas the rest of the year by doing things for others and bringing joy through music. You were a wonderful mother to pass this on to your children.
Deb J. Dec 13, 2009, 7:35pm UTC
Thanks for the wonderful thought Sadie!

Thank you Norma and yours too....thank you for the Christmas Card!
Donald M. Dec 14, 2009, 3:20pm UTC
I felt bad that I could not send anyone a gift , just cards this year.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Dec 14, 2009, 3:23pm UTC
We couldn't even do cards this year :(
Donald M. Dec 15, 2009, 3:46pm UTC
I was fortunate enough to have some left in this box and that package, don't try to send the same one to all my friends. I don't think I will have to buy any for a while, but may get some after Christmas .

Christmas came way too fast this year!
Donna Spirit Dec 16, 2009, 2:36pm UTC
Lovely sentiments, Deb. I just wish we were in a position to be more giving this year. Luckily, my kids understand, but the wee grandkids, not so much.
Bethann K. Dec 16, 2009, 5:58pm UTC
Merry Christmas!
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Dec 19, 2009, 3:26pm UTC
It does seem Christmas has snuck up on us. I'm so far behind. This year, I have learned that I already have the most precious gifts of all, my family and friends...and my 10-pounds-too-heavy cat has also made it through another year!

Merry Christmas
Debbie W. Jan 30, 2010, 3:10pm UTC
And it's behind us now...
Teresa W. Jan 30, 2010, 3:17pm UTC
Christmas has come and gone ..but the next one will be here before we all know it
