Slowly but surely ...

... I've been putting up our Christmas decorations. I love this time of the year:
The Christmas tree and all the lights and ornaments,
the bells I've been given over the years that form so many of my decorations,
But more than all of that is the thought that we get to spend some of Christmas with family. Not all of our family, but some of our family and for that I am very grateful. And because of that I start to remember those who will spend their Christmas alone. But sometimes you need to do more than think about people who find this time of the year difficult, sometimes ... sometimes you need to do something.
