The Meaning of Christmas To Me

Christmas is a special time of year that makes me think about my past, It is so amazing how each year begin to pass by so fast. This is why on this special day I reflect about my days as a little girl, When I played with my dolls and listened to music while I danced and twirled. As the years began pass and my family made more memories, Some ended with joy, other's were sad while we visited the cemeteries. Either way, the memories will always be in my heart, And I sit and think about these as Christmas day begins to start. I am now married and have carried many of my traditions to my new life, Promises I made to my dad, such as being a great mom and a supportive wife. I have many people that are not able to physically share in this special day, But I know they are around and watching me in their own way. Now that I'm older I am making new memories for my family to hold on to, I wish all the happiness and love this Christmas to your family and you.
