It was our equivalent of Christmas Eve. The girls were headed out of the country for Christmas so we had time with them before they left. While their baby brother slept, they were excited about presents. Sleep was elusive for these two.
Their grandfather, an early morning person, was long since out of bed. Georgie the golden grand-dog had already taken her space on the bed by the time the girls arrived in the room. There we were, three of us cuddled in bed with Georgie warming our feet.
As I lay there laughing, talking with and tickling them at 5:30 that morning, I knew what my present was this year and every year. Nothing could ever match these special moments.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone. I wish you joy!

Merry Christmas. I hope you have a very good one.
The same to you, dear Marie. I think this was the year I began following you (maybe it was earlier, but I really don't remember when), and now you feel just like a member of my family. The happiest of holidays to you and yours, Marie. :-)
Indeed these precious moments with our lovedones are wonderful! Wishing you and family a Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Marie! Enjoy this magical day!
Merry Christmas to all of you, and may all your wishes come true.
It sounds like a perfect, and absolutely blissful, start to the day. The merriest of Christmases and the happiest of New Years to you and yours.
Absolutely the best present is hugs and kisses from little ones.
I hope your Christmas was wonderful and all the best to you in 2018.
I was awakened at 6 by someone poking me. Actually, this was merciful as they had already been awake for 2 hours.
So,lucky to have family, I miss mine every day being that last one left in the long line back in history. Enjoy while you can and take care, Happy 2018. Diane
