No traditional activities tonight, just sit and stare at the TV, but the mind constantly wonders to Christmas Eves past, friends no longer with us, and friends and relatives living far away. It is one of those nights for memories, they can't be helped.
I will end my prayer tonight with a "Happy Birthday," and probably, sometime before going to bed, out of habit, go out on the porch and look skyward, still hoping to get a glimpse of the sleigh. I decided I never wanted to be convinced, that's the boy in me.
Thankful tonight, oh yes, the good Lord has seen fit to let me live another year. I thank him for that. I have to think of all those still without home from Sandy, and all those poor souls who lost their children at .Sandy Hook, I cannot imagine the agony those poor people are going through tonight. Yes, I have much to be thankful for this Christmas Eve, 2012.
Merry Christmas to ALL.................
