I hope your parents were grateful for the good deed. <br />I do agree with you on Christmas, it has become so commercial that it has taken a lot of the joy out of the day. I like to think that at least some children still have the spirit and don't get caught up in the greed.

I guess you could say we enjoy a pauper's Christmas each year but we're happy spending time with family and that's what really counts, I think. <br /><br />Wishing you a very Happy New Year! xxSerena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-32295998125890682512012-12-26T13:39:54.468-08:002012-12-26T13:39:54.468-08:00DJan, I believe in Christmas magic and especially ...DJan, I believe in Christmas magic and especially in Elves (all forms)!
