AMEN to that!
I absolutely love and cherish the holiday season. It brings out so many wonderful feelings and emotions, I mean, just real, deep down inner warmth and happiness.
As with this time of year comes very special days as mentioned before...birthdays to be exact! While some have already been covered (i.e., mom and lou) others get shuffled in the xmas chaos.
However, being a very BIG Birthday enthusiast, I'm very happy to send very special belated birthday hugs and kisses to none other than our dear Jeanette, Omar, and to the little monkeys who continually steal pieces of my heart, Logan and Tyler.
Life is bonkers, or as Gwen, so lady-like phrases it, "this shit is bananas", so while the christmas season creeps up a little sooner every year, it seems like these other birthday celebrations get tossed aside. Well never fear kiddos, as long as I have my horrible choir voice, you'll be receiving special birthday wishes alongside my traditional "Happy Birthday to you", "For he/she is a jolly good fellow", topped off with a little "May the dear Lord bless you" birthday chant...so please don't be embarrassed, just embrace the love ;)
Another little shot out to our dear Baby Jesus for being born and for making all things possible each and every holiday season. Also, a BIG Thank You to all my loved ones for all the wonderful moments we've shared throughout this year and during this special time...looking forward to many more in 2009!
