"Hard candy Christmas"

We are all familiar with the Dolly Parton hit song, "Hard Candy Christmas." This year, that is exactly what my family will be having from me. Since becoming disabled, having very little money, I decided to make the gifts from myself. This had to be started early, as my RA slows me down quite a bit. I think that, after all, Christmas is not about the cost of a gift but rather the thought. For those who can afford expensive gifts, that is great. Expensive gifts can be given with the thought behind them. 'Not "knocking" that. All I am saying is that the real meaning should be that thought that love is really what matters. I surely hope my family thinks the same, ha. My gifts will definitely have that true meaning of love behind each and every one. I will post some photos after Christmas day. Merry Christmas and good tidings to all of you, my prim friends. Each and every one of you is greatly appreciated.

Merry Christmas Danice...I think you have the right idea regardless of having RA...we all should practice this thought more often.

I had no idea you were disabled Danice, so sorry to hear about that! You have certainly the right spirit about giving and I'm so glad you helped me w/my blog when I needed it.
May the Lord bless you in the New Yr!

Merry Christmas!
