The Night Before Christmas

didn't grow up in Christmas Country, or, as my grandmother put it, with Christmas-People. But I have no issue whatsoever with being wished a Merry Christmas, because if you want to include me in your holiday and wish me well, my heart is gladdened.

“Christmas, children, is not a date. It is a state of mind.”
Mary Ellen Chase


My wish to all is that on this Christmas Eve, and all the eves to follow, your children are tucked in a warm bed, and all feel safe and loved.

So true, Mirka ... Wishing you the warmest of Christmases as you snuggle with your kitties.

Getting ready to go tuck my kidlet in right now. =) And a lovely pic. I'm partial to tabbies, having had one as my first cat.

Great attitude, Mirka. In high school, I dated a guy who was Jewish and even though I'm not Jewish, I participated in every Jewish holiday that year. It was fun and educational. I loved getting to celebrate other holidays. I tend to just wish people happy holidays instead of saying Merry Christmas because no matter what you celebrate, I hope it's happy.
