Christmas has so many meanings to different people and to get an image which is truly definitive of my Christmas spirit will be difficult but I will try.  This will be a very small even at our home but with a traditional dinner at my wonderful wife's mother's home.

I am somewhat depressed this Christmas season because of lack of employment since last 31 December.   I will try to cook for the festive dinner and that is an incentive to smile in joy...joy if my cooking is successful!!!! Joy and fun for the others if I am a total disfunctional cook...but will serve it anyway and make them smile! I intend on baking a grand and delicious cake but might serve a frisbee. : )

I try to have a closer relationship with Jesus Christ this time of the year and avoid the frenzy of shopping and greed.  If I shop for gifts, it is for giving and happiness in that and not the greed and commercial push to have the popular thing of the season.

There will be photos but I am not certain what.   Could our three cats come through the main room as Astroologer Wise Men from the East I would get that photo.  They will not wear costumes or walk neatly together...and have interest only in wrapping paper and bows as toys of the day.

I will have to look into my heart 3 times and try to get a photo of that feeling or memory of Christmas.
