Your words always touch my heart. I believe it is a kindred spirit kinda of thing, and I do thank you so much for that. I relive my memories of childhood, so similar to yours, at Christmas and the New Year, and it brings joy, and tears too, of a sweet innocent time long gone. But, how lucky we are, to have those sweet memories, and we are still here to make memories for the children in our life. Happy New year. Thank you for your blog, I love it....<br />+Bonnie Schultehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662392601280165884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-49858228327850610662015-12-28T08:25:17.649-05:002015-12-28T08:25:17.649-05:00We hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas a...We hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas away from the extreme weather that's been all over the French news !Angushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13905037014736070475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-23693565970913300752015-12-23T10:14:00.705-05:002015-12-23T10:14:00.705-05:00Pamela, Thank you for this lovely post...it truly...Pamela, Thank you for this lovely post...it truly took my breath away.

We who experienced lovely childhood Christmasses, with kind and thoughtful parents, were given a special gift - it may not have been costly, huge, or flamboyant, perhaps just wrapped in a little box and called "perfect memories", and they have stayed with us and made each December's festive season special in many ways, some simple yet the best perhaps, and given us joy as only the true meaning of Christmas can.<br /><br />Thank you for this story of your childhood and all your beautiful posts shared this year.<br />See you here in 2016 which I pray will be a year of peace and loveliness for us all.<br />Love and hugs - MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-89650947722435429042015-12-21T09:26:13.705-05:002015-12-21T09:26:13.705-05:00What a charmed life you lead Pamela.

Our Dad entered into the spirit of it wholeheartedly and I too have tried to give our children some special memories. They have children of their own so we all need to make their Christmas memories too. You did bring a lump to my throat with this post.<br />Wishing you and yours the most magical Christmas and here's to making more memories and continued blogging friendship in 2016.
