Merry Christmas

I sent out all of my Christmas cards, and have gotten a few responses from friends and family who don't live close enough to be familiar with all of our family members. So, below I've attached the same pictures with names on them and then a listing of family members (including the two newest additions this year!) If you click on the pictures, they will come up full size so you can read the names.

BTW: If you didn't get one it probably means that I wasn't able to recover your address when I lost my address book earlier this year, so please email me with it!

Finally, as I sit here sheltered from the blizzard outside with a crackling fire to keep me warm, I want to wish everyone a very merry Christmas. I've attached the lyrics to a favorite Christmas song of mine, "Merry Christmas, Darling" by The Carpenters. Although most Christmas songs could be classified as 'one of my favorites', LOL, this one really captures how I feel about all my dear loved ones who I don't get to spend the holidays with very often or never at all (if I knew how to attach the song to my blog, I would, so if you know how feel free to leave instructions in the comments section).....

Greeting cards have all been sent
The Christmas rush is through
But I still have one wish to make
A special one for you

Merry Christmas darling
We're apart that's true
But I can dream and in my dreams
I'm Christmas-ing with you

Holidays are joyful
There's always something new
But every day's a holiday
When I'm near to you

The lights on my tree
I wish you could see
I wish it every day
Logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say
That I wish you Merry Christmas
Happy New Year, too

I've just one wish On this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you
Logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say
That I wish you Merry Christmas
Happy New Year, too

I've just one wish
On this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you
I wish I were with you

Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas - Darling
~ The Carpenters
