Merry Christmas, everyone!  I love the holidays.  Lots of family memories of Christmas past . Also, in Christmas present, I am thankful for my family, my friends, my home, my job, my health...***I AM GRATEFUL FOR ALL THOSE THINGS THAT GIVE ME QUALITY OF LIFE***At the right, this image is a family memory; a wonderful vintage black and photo of my mother, my sister, and me (circa 1950).
