Merry Christmas Everyone!

I can't believe it's Christmas Eve and I'm still wrapping and trying to finish my cards! It's been a whirlwind of activity around here and I am racing to keep up with myself!  I've told my family and friends that my cards will be late this year and guess what....they aren't even surprised!  I have the best family and the best friends, I am so lucky!!

Next year I will definitely make some cards throughout the year, this is just crazy!  LOL!!  Anyway this is a short post as I still have a zillion things to do before Santa arrives, but I wanted to share a special part of my Christmas memories with you.  My Christmas Angel...isn't she sweet?

I remember saving up my allowance when I was a little girl so that I could get my Mom something special.  I remember walking to 'The China Cabinet', a store in our neighbourhood, it was owned by Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds, and of course back in those days everyone knew everyone. So Mr. Reynolds asked if he could help me.  I showed him my money and said I needed to find something really special for my Mom for Christmas and together we found this little Chrismas Angel that was in my price range. 

He wrapped it up for me and I carried it home and tucked it under the tree, so excited for my Mom to open it up.  My Mom loved it and each Christmas she would unwrap it and display it on the stereo cabinet.  Now my Mom has gone, I have the Christmas Angel and every year I carefully unwrap it and think of my Mom and Dad and the wonderful Christmases we always had.

When I look at my little Christmas Angel, I sometimes wonder if Mr. Reynolds charged me the right amount on that day so long ago....

I hope you like my Christmas Angel memory and I hope you and your families have a wonderful Christmas filled with love, family and friends.  May your days be Merry and Bright!  Thanks for stopping to share your precious time with me!

Love and hugs ~ Judy
