The Joy of Giving -  "It's better to Give than it is to Receive." From my Catholic upbringing, it seems to me I've heard that phrase a time or two. But as a kid,  when it comes to Christmas presents... receiving is not too bad either!! I vividly remember opening the box, oh so many years ago, to discover that big... yellow... Tonka Truck I'd been wanting. Thank you Santa!!

Santa has continued to be a very jolly, busy visitor to our home through the years. As our sons, Nick and Josh get older, they continue to make lists. And as they're rolling their eyes, we still tell them they have to  'ask Santa'.

Christmas is a time of Joy, family, great food, and for our family, celebrating the birth of Christ. While it's also a time to reflect on the joys of the Holiday season, Christmas, for me, is also a reminder  of time moving on. It's seems like just yesterday I was the little kid opening the presents! What happened??  When I look  at the Christmas card  photos of our sons, I once again drop my jaw at how fast they seem to be growing up. So many wonderful Holiday memories.  Why wait for the actual Christmas Holiday season to celebrate the joys of family. Why not give some extra love during Christmas in July! After all, it's better to give than to receive.

Merry Christmas (in July)!
