Christmas is a special time and will always be special whatever you decide to do to mark the day. I ran away with my boys as Christmas reminds us all of when their dad contracted fatal meningitis (on the 26th December) and so, whilst we wanted to mark the day, being at home with happy family and memories was not what we needed. I love your photographs and words.

I used to decorate every room in the house but no longer. Caring for family is very tiring but your family has the right Christmas spirit. God bless you all as you center on Him this Christmas and also minister to your father. The Lord is there in the center of it all and He will bless and sustain you all as you celebrate His birth this Christmas. Thank you for taking time out of your very busy schedule to join me for tea. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143691149413399323.post-80075786185510391242014-12-23T06:42:30.707-08:002014-12-23T06:42:30.707-08:00A very timely post...this is a different Christmas...A very timely post...this is a different Christmas here...my husband with Parkinson's Disease has just gotten off a heart monitor after 10 days...results tomorrow...and, although much more minor than your family's health issue...I just haven't been able to do much this year. Having cared for very ill family members for several months, it is taxing, tiring and emotionally draining it is. God bless you and your family. I'll be praying for your family. Thanks to Jesus that He knows and sustains indeed!
