Each of us has our own special Christmas memories, traditions that vary from family to family, from religion to religion, from country to country. It's a time of good cheer, love for our fellow man, and a time to savor the gift of giving. It's about worship and gratitude, children and magic, good food and family,,,,,,,and a time of year that brings out the very best in us. I wish we could bottle up these good things and make them last all year!.
