merry christmas

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

We are so excited around here for tonight...I hope everyone will be able to go to sleep.
My friend, Heather, had this on her blog and I loved it:

"No one can measure the effect of an unselfish act of kindness. By small, simple things, great things do indeed come to pass. Of course gifts given and gifts received make Christmas special. For many children Christmas Eve is a very long night as they look forward with eager anticipation to the gifts Santa brings, which is why children love Santa Claus. Let me share what someone once said about Santa Claus. First of all, he's a joyous individual. Next, Santa Claus is interested in making others happy. He increases the happy moments in the life of everyone he meets. He loves his work; he gets fun out of his job. He is childlike, simple, humble, sincere, and forgiving. Finally, he is a giver. His philosophy is to give himself away in service. He is a friend to everyone. He smiles. Perhaps you and I could attain greater happiness if we emulated Santa Claus a little more, for his way is the way of the Infant Jesus."
