Choking back the tears when I Hear the tiny children singing Christmas carols Reaching out to friends and relations I haven’t seen all year but sending them my news in cards Sitting round the festive dining table with my loved ones with Thoughts of those who are no longer with us Miracle on 34th street on the television And hearing White Christmas on the radio Seeing the smiles on little faces when Santa has been Contest: What does Christmas mean to me Sponsor: Matt Caliri 12~26~15

This is lovely, when I read the first word "Choking" I was worried this was going in a completely different direction, all be it a good one!!! Time for some Grants!

If I could 'grant' you three wishes what would they be? I do get very emotional hearing the kiddies sing Arthur reminds me of when my son was younger and in nativities - have some great video footage of him and another lad having a bit of a disagreement and prodding eachother lol:-) hugs Jan xx
