When I lost my mother, my Christmas spirit was basically thrown up in the air and hit with buckshot because of how important this time of year was to her. Dealing with what I have had to over the last two years with my kids has basically killed any remainder of it. But THIS THREAD always warms my heart every year and I look forward to it so much.


I still set up a nativity scene in my front yard every year and we have now for about 35 years. I may take pictures soon. It isn't much.



This time next year, things will be different. Everything is coming to a close in the next month, officially beginning Monday, December 9th. Life is going to come full circle. Thank you for kicking this thread off each year, Mike. You have no idea what it means to some of us. I intend to repay a handful of people in this community in ways you won't understand until they occur.
