2. Over the last years, I really got disenthralled with the type of celebration

one may be expected to participate in. Each year I did less and less and we survived! Well, I'll be...

The materialism, the commercialism. I had my own personal protest parade going on.

These last two days I blessed some younguns with $$ they did not expect. Kind of a 'tip'. One I had to fight off-they refused at first! 😄

So, with neighbors gifting edible goodies and another bringing some clothes to charity. I gave him and a buddy who were my husband's size lots of items. They took what appealed to them and donated the balance. I am receiving help from above.

Now yesterday and today feels like the 'real meaning'.

May you and yours have a Christmas of Love and Joy and Peace! 💖
