I miss the innocence of being a child.

all the kids at the house when they were little Christmas morning , fresh cinnamon rolls my wife put together the day before , pull from the fridge and bake. milk and coffee and no rushing anywhere.
when I was young a big Christmas eve supper at my grandparents , all the cousins and aunts and uncles.
we did Christmas with my parents and brothers family yesterday it was good and it is nice to spread it out and not be running all over one day.
we are getting together with the kids on Christmas day this year , everyone picks one thing to make I am doing a rolled stuffed pork roast
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I cried yesterday over this one again I . The 13 of December I went Christmas shopping for my grandfather (smoky Joe Michels) and Grandma Francis. Got home got a phone call....... Uncle Pete, hey Joany your mom's dead..... Took her own life....
That is all he said......
Had some had some other crazy Christmases after that.....
If it weren't for Jesus I love this holiday to go away.

Let smell of the box in the attic that had all the Christmad decorations in it. For some reason that box had nearly a magical attraction to me.

I miss the anticipation and the surprises. There were some disappointments also, but that was part of Christmas. I never got everything.
Santa always brought a box of low brass #6 for shooting squirrels.

Mom and dad. Dad always bought the biggest shrimp ring he could find and multiple jars of Cross and Blackwell shrimp sauce. We never had any left over.

Always disliked the commercialization of Christmas. Christmas is and should always be about the Christ.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

This year I am going to miss having a family Christmas. Early in the year 2023 my wife was diagnosed with kidney failure. This led to her getting chemo treatments and when she has a treatment her immune system is zero. That means no contact with people. Last Christmas I went to our family Christmas gathering, but my wife stayed home as there were going to be around 35 people attending. I got Covid a few days after the gathering and it spread to my wife. This year I will not take the chance of going to the family Christmas gathering as I don't want to pick up a flu bug, Covid or a cold. It won't seem like Christmas this year.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Miss the way mom made the holidays so special for her family. Lots of baking and lot's of bowls to lick as a kid.
Then there was the excruciating part of having to wait for the adults to finish breakfast on the 25th ....sipping their coffee slowly....arrrrgggg! .... so that we could open the presents!
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!
