MERRY CHRISTMAS

This will be my last post before Santa comes. I'm heading out to the lake to spend Christmas with my family. We will be doing lots of ski-dooing, playing in the snow, eating & drinking, sitting at the fire, watching movies and whatever else comes along. Its our first Christmas ever at the lake so we are all sooo excited. Many of our neighbours will be out there, so that will be great spending this special holiday with them too.

To all my bloggy friends, my family & friends I just wanted to send a

to all of you!! I could not imagine this journey without the support and friendship from all of you!!!

Of course this has been a DOWN time for me. I was soooo hoping & praying that I would have Channing home by now and it seems it will still be a few more months yet. Last year she was spoiled rotten at Christmas and I know this year will be the same. She already has received some gifts from friends and family and I know it wont be as fun opening them this year when last year I kept picturing her ripping off the paper with her cousin Hunter helping her.

So baby girl, I just hope you are well taken care of and that you are healthy. I will be thinking of you all day long......Merry Christmas my girl. I can't wait until we get to celebrate next year together!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

By Thrid Day

There's a little girl trembling on a cold December morn

Crying for momma's arms

At an orphanage just outside a little China town

There the forgotten are

But half a world away I hang the stockings by the fire

And dream about the day when I can finally call you mine

It's Christmas time again but you're not home

Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone

And so tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in his arms

And tell you from my heart I wish you a Merry Christmas

As I hang the tinsel on the tree and watch the twinkling lights

I'm warmed by the fire's glow

Outside the children tumble in a wonderland of white,

Make angels in the snow

But half a world away you try your best to fight the tears

And hope that heaven's angels come to carry you here

It's Christmas time again but you're not home

Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone

And so tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in his arms

And tell you from my heart I wish you a Merry Christmas

Christmas is a time to celebrate the holy child

and we celebrate his perfect gift of love

He came to earth to give his life

and prepare a place for us

so we could have a home with him above

It's Christmas time again and now you're home

Your family is here so you will never be alone

So tonight before you go to sleep, I'll hold you in my arms

And I'll tell you from my heart, and I'll tell you from my heart

I wish you Merry Christmas.
