Growing up, the approaching Christmas holiday brought much joy to my mother and father. The entire family would get together all through the season at different times, not to exchange gifts, but, to exchange their love. To this day, it is still like that. I bake the fruitcake, my cousin makes the gingerbreads... We have big family gatherings. It is never extravagant, but, it is heartwarming. This is because some some live far, some live among each other and there has always been a need to connect and stay close with family, if only a few times a year.

I thank you for your compliments, and know you are being overly generous with your words! I appreciate them though! Have a wonderful day, Dan! @bluemoon
