...The HEART of CHRISTMAS......



" I have always thought of Christmas as
a good time;
a kind, forgiving,
generous,pleasant time;
a time when men and women
seem to open their hearts freely,
and so I say,
God bless Christmas!"

by Charles Dickens








I am Cinghy-Jasmine, CJ; this special Christmas day on a very,
very important mission......












....Oh, Babbo....just go ahead & put this cute red cap on my head;
I am wondering  what will come next.......












ooooh, you make me smile.....this white fluffy thing....
where ever will go this......?....












.....mhhhhhm......no way.....it's not sweet & it does not
taste good at aaalllllll......











ohhhh, what do you think .....?
I know by now that my precious mission
is very important.......











........because there is somebody who needs my help...
actually I really should take "his" place......











"He" or better "She", my Mommy Elvira;
"Babbo Natale",
Santa Claus
of
Mount Ceci;
got two days ago this big, white cast on her leg.....
& I promised my adopted family
to help out this year.....













....and I tell you; my mission was soooooo much fun; but soooooooo very exhausting.........
...but for my loved family I would do just
anything....!!!!!

*
May you have the gladness of Christmas which is hope;
The spirit of Christmas which is peace;
The heart of Christmas which is love.

by Ada V. Hendricks


I wish You & Your loved ones
a very

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Now, a cast on your leg. Sorry to hear this and I am hoping it will heal very well and quickly.

As I scrolled down through the images, I smiled, and it felt so fun to see that sweet pig, being so good about getting the Santahoho hat and beard placed. The final image of that sweet pig, is so cute, I loved it.
Your family, what a blessing each of you have in each other, for so much love, so much warmth of family is conveyed in that one single image that reaches into the depth of love of family.
May you have a truly blessed New Year. I am forever grateful for your friendship and thankful that we know one another, for you are a sweet blessing~
