What you say about comparing what we actally have against that fictional 'perfect Christmas' is so true. Having good friends and family, a sense of humour, the ability to find something good when it is hidden behind something bad and good health is so much more important.<br />I missed the Christmas Club posting yesterday due to family commitments and totaly inability to schedule a post in time but am going to claim that Hertfordshire runs on a different time scale to the rest of frozen Britain ....debs14https://www.blogger.com/profile/14521565769251816528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-55163010968237344192010-12-19T17:38:20.668+00:002010-12-19T17:38:20.668+00:00Thanks for your story today!

As I've struggled to find the perfect stories to submit for your sister's Christmas club, I clearly missed the little things about Christmas's past that still make it something to celebrate. Thank you for this lovely reminder to find joy in the simple things this holiday season.<br /><br />And, Dear Sian, thank you for organizing this Christmas Club activity for all of us. You have brought us together in harmony even though we are miles and miles apart. Much love and happiness to you and your family this Christmas season. My heart is so full this morning. ♥ xoDeb @ PaperTurtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957816023851249171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-68137738867836842612010-12-19T14:39:15.941+00:002010-12-19T14:39:15.941+00:00It's lovely to read a man's reflection of ...It's lovely to read a man's reflection of Christmas. i've enjoyed your stories and look forward to reading more in the new year.
