Christmas Eve

Young children and the magic of Christmas Eve is something to behold. The thrill as they await that jolly, magical man, 


the excitement and joy of family and friends gathered to celebrate together make it such a special time.


Sharing a beverage, a special meal, 


hanging the stockings, reading Christmas stories,




sitting by the fire, the music,


the glow of the Christmas lights and candles 


make it my favourite day of the year. 

Presents? Unnecessary. 

Presence is the gift.

Merry Christmas to the Taylor family this Christmas Eve as they gather once again for the annual Christmas Eve family party at my sister-in-law, Michele's home. My brother, Frank, was lucky enough to marry into a family of seven children who are very close in age and in life. 

This is the story I wrote last year about the Taylor-Pretty Christmas Eve.


Merry Christmas everyone!
