  33. Christmas is my favorite time of year because I get to see it through my children's and now grandchildrens eyes! You truly forget how truly exciting and mesmorizing it is and when those little eyes look at you in amazementand watch your children become excited all over again at getting to relive it with their children. They have taught them as we did them that christmas is as much a feeling as it is about gifts. You truly feel the spirit of christmas all over again. thanks so much for the opportunty to win something. Sincerely, Cheryl (aka. Nana)

  46. Love your digi layout!
    My favorite thing about Christmas is getting to be with family and friends that live elsewhere, and cooking up desserts that they all love! We also participate in caring for those in terminal care, to bring them love and a special touch on Christmas day. That really is so wonderful, that my adult children still ask to be apart of it, too. Love that!
