My Christmas Wonder…
Wow, this Christmas stuff is really neat. I’ve been watching my family & the families of so many scurry around for weeks, (years) just to get ready for this one, beautiful, magical morning. I’ve never seen anything like this before, and even though Mom and Dad tried to explain it all to me and have told me wonderful Christmas stories, I’m not sure I understand it.
Hi, I’m Bibbs, and although I’ve been around the block a few times, I must admit this is the
first time I’ve ever encountered this thing called the miracle of Christmas. I’ve been on this earth for over 50 years and thought I knew it all. Now I find I’m not quite as worldly as I thought. Eh, live and learn.
The truth be told, the miracle of Christmas is what we all should be looking for, I don’t generally get Christmas day off, and so this magical morning does not exist for me, I am working to see all the smiles that are created through our designing studio here at Bibbs Flowers and Gifts. I am here very late on Christmas Eve and back again in the morning at around 7 A.M.
Discovering new things is the spice of life and boy have I been discovering things lately. On August 17th of this year I had a new born grandson, this would make my 3rd grandchild. Whom I usually shop for after Christmas. I have a son that turned 38 this year and is turning gray, I didn’t realize that. I haven’t realized a whole lot of things, things are changing and I am just not paying attention.
Who’d have thought you could plant a tree right inside the house? I always thought
something was missing in my living room each year. Then the thought hit me…! What a great place for a tree.
It was a first miracle to know what huge glory I have been missing all these years…that was my first miracle, the reality. The second came when my son said to me…”It’ll be a miracle to see you at Christmas, watching the kids open there presents” Of course he is not counting on it…..
Just to let you know…I will be there Christmas Morning!
….And I will be looking forward to 2012, filled with more Christmas mornings then I have ever known…After all, I have a lot of time to make up for.
