Christmas with the Aspies
We exchanged our family gifts before our vacation so we could travel to where it was warm … we even had a white
Christmas (and now our area is snowed in.) I’m wondering if we’ll be able to fly home. But why sweat the small stuff, I am here to enjoy myself.
So I wanted to share some favorite Christmas quotes for your holiday:
Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. ~Norman Vincent Peale
Christmas is a time when you get homesick - even when you’re home. ~Carol Nelson
He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree. ~Roy L. Smith
Christmas, children, is not a date. It is a state of mind. ~Mary Ellen Chase
I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. ~Charles Dickens
Christmas is the gentlest, loveliest festival of the revolving year - and yet, for all that, when it speaks, its voice has strong authority. ~W.J. Cameron
Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time. ~Laura Ingalls Wilder
May Peace be your gift at Christmas and your blessing all year through! ~Author Unknown
I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. ~Charles Dickens
Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all 30 feet tall. ~Larry Wilde, The Merry Book of Christmas
Christmas is the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart. ~Washington Irving
I hope you all enjoy your time with family, friends or loved ones. I am looking forward to the new year and to my children growing older and wiser each day.
I am counting the days till the launch of my non-profit organization and my new website.
I will be spending the remained of 2008 enjoying my husband and children and working together on some creative artwork. I’ll be painting and taking pictures of palm trees and desert rock formations, making cookies and candies, singing Christmas carols along with Il Divo and making homemade pastas and sauces.
My oldest turned eighteen on December 18th, I sure don’t feel old enough … I guess that’s the beauty of not growing up!
