Many will spend the day in a range of differing circumstances and we just hope that the Christmas spirit touches them in some way. A smile from one to another, a fond memory, or something else that makes the day special for them.
2008 has been a long and tough year for my family and we are hoping 2009 will be better. We know everyones idea of tough is perspective based and we definitely know of others who have to battle for the day more than us.
Watching my kids this morning, opening gifts, seeing the smiles, and watching the innocence as Santa gets such praise for knowing exactly what they wanted. Its heart warming to know that they are genuinely good kids. They didn't ask for much, and during these tough financial times, we are lucky this was the case. Books, games, chocolates, clothes, a guitar, we have three very happy kids. They have all disappeared to their corners to play.
Have a great day, our love goes out to everyone at this wonderful time of the year!
James
