Christmas Eve

Even my kids said it this year, I love Christmas Eve more than Christmas!  A chance to be together with family, to be surrounded with love.  It’s a short time to eat, to be together, and to see the joy in the eyes of children.  I love it!

And Bella……Bella did it!  She was able to be with us!  That was my Christmas gift this year!

It was while I was listening to Cyndi, my little sister that lives so far away and who I have been so worried about lately, that it hit me.  The feeling.  The song.  This song.  The song that says how I feel about family – about gathering with the family and the unspoken love that exists in our family circle.
