I remember a few years ago watching Christmas Story with 2 of my granddaughters.

A week later one of them, Emilee who was 5 was at the time was at Walmart with her mom when she ran across a Red Ryder lever action 200 shot BB gun. She screamed out that that was the one in the Christmas story and wanted to buy it for me.

Her mom bought it for her and she gave it to me for Christmas. I have it proudly displayed in my gun cabinet with all my other guns.

Precious memories.

For anyone who even knows me a little, I would hope that you know I am a Christian. I am very thankful for the reason that we celebrate this holiday. What I am not thankful for is what it has become.

Before one says that "grinching is easier than celebrating" it might be wise to realise that not everyone is in the same situation. One has no idea what may have happened to a person in the past that would cause them to not love this time of year.

Well, even I, with my too small heart and my Scrooge attitude, have a few Christmas favorites:

Movie: A Christmas Story

Song: O Holy Night

Gift: Seeing the look on my son's face ( when he was little ) when Santa brought him something that he thought he wasn't getting but REALLY wanted.

I agree Joe....that remark was just "a little breach of etiquette by jumping to the triple dog dare ya" lol Anway, have we forgotten about the "head rubbing" caper of a few weeks ago? Some risque' talk there too, and yes I was a willing participant, and yes it was a different type of context but...let's just forgetaboutit and move on..

1.) Fave movie..starts Thanksgiving night with Christmas Vacation and we watch it a least 15 more times until Christmas, then the week of Christmas it's a Christmas Story. (Also have to watch all the Home Alone's too)

2.) Fave songs...Oh Holy Night, Oh Come All Ye Faithful, and any songs my kids sang when they were little in Christmas plays.

3.) Gift..getting engaged Christmas Eve 1982, and watching my kids EVERY Christmas when they saw what Santa brought.

Merry Christmas!

Here are the lyrics. It is sung by Mary, the mother of Jesus:

I have traveled many moonless nights,
Cold and weary with a babe inside,
And I wonder what I've done.
Holy father you have come,
And chosen me now to carry your son.

I am waiting in a silent prayer.
I am frightened by the load I bear.
In a world as cold as stone,
Must I walk this path alone?
Be with me now.
Be with me now.

Breath of heaven,
Hold me together,
Be forever near me,
Breath of heaven.
Breath of heaven,
Lighten my darkness,
Pour over me your holiness,
For you are holy.
Breath of heaven.

Do you wonder as you watch my face,
If a wiser one should have had my place,
But I offer all I am
For the mercy of your plan.
Help me be strong.
Help me be.
Help me.

Breath of heaven,
Hold me together,
Be forever near me,
Breath of heaven.
Breath of heaven,
Lighten my darkness,
Pour over me your holiness,
For you are holy.

Breath of heaven,
Hold me together,
Be forever near me,
Breath of heaven.
Breath of heaven,
Lighten my darkness,
Pour over me your holiness,
For you are holy.
Breath of heaven.
