Guest Post: About Christmas
by Hope Thompson

Mommy is busy cooking and cleaning our bedroom so I asked if I could write on her blog and she said YES.

Okay, about Christmas. All the television commercials and sale coupons and Sunday flyers and everything else that piles up on our kitchen table. Christmas isn't about the presents. 

Its about coming together with family and friends and having fun. 

I think the best Christmas I ever had was making ginger bread houses with my grandparents, aunt and uncle, and of course my parents. 

Then we had some ginger bread men with homemade icing.  Also, between you and me I don't like getting presents because I don't need them.  But, its always nice to find a present or 2 under my tree for me.

I wanted to wish everybody a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

I LOVE you mommy.

    Merry Christmas Hope! You sound like a great girl who really ‘gets it.’ Your mom is a lucky mom. Give her lots of hugs and kisses this year; I bet that’s the only thing that she really wants from you.
