I'll be home for Christmas. If only in my Dreams....
Just a short messag home today wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. Last night a small mountain villiage of Bac Ha was the stop for a Christmas Eve celebration. A tour group from Check Republic had brought a tree branch and decorated it with 2 ornaments, they sung Christmas carols and exchanged presents. Traveleing with Elena, just the 2 of us, we exchanged stories of our family traditions. It was like piecing together the best part of every Christmas I can ever remember.
This year Christmas is in my heart instead of under my tree. Being in a foreign land that knows what Christmas is but doesn't celebrate it themselves, I am reminded that Christmas is a time to stop the hectic day to day of normal life and apprciate the important things. My thoughts turn immediately to all of you, those I love! I'm imagining all the meals and gifts and laughter and stories you are al catching up on with each other. The snow, the cold, the trees decorated with lights. It's quite amazig. So don't let the day pass without noticing it all yourself.
This year for Christmas I have the best presents I could ever imagine. The love and support of all of you. While it is a hard gift to wrap and put under a tree, it's value is priceless. And the one that means the most to me.
I Love You All!!! VERY MUCH!!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
