From Christmases long past...
... when we went to bed with visions of sugarplums dancing in our heads...
To Covid Christmas 2020...
The love and the joy is the same, and the memory bank expands with new joys.
See the world through the eyes of a child.
It doesn't fix everything.
But it helps.
Wishing you the merriest, a safe happy holiday and love and peace in the new year.

Hello Jeanie

Merry Christmas, Jeanie! I had to chuckle a bit at Rick's covid hair in that one shot! And yes, I think I see that nativity scene. Have a great one! -Jenn
Merrily Christmas to you and Rick and your extended family. I have no doubt you'll enjoy every minute of it.
The very best of Christmases to you and Rick and Lizzie!
"Do not select the merriest of the three hundred and sixty-five for your doleful recollections, but draw nearer the blazing fire.
Fill the glass and send round the song!
And if your room be smaller than it was a dozen years ago,
or if your glass be filled with reeking punch,
instead of sparkling wine,
put a good face on the matter, and empty it offhand,
and fill another, and troll off the old ditty you used to sing,
and thank God it’s no worse."
- Charles Dickens
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and Rick, Jeanie. Joyeux Nöel et Bonne Nouvelle Année.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, stay safe. Hugs, Valerie
Merry Christmas Jeanie! What a beautiful collection of photos. Thinking like a child makes a big difference in viewing life. That is why I love reading children's fairytales from time to time.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Merry Christmas, Sweet Friend! Seriously one of your grandsons looks just like you.
The three sandwiches on the table look very festive!
Christmas or not,judging by the photos, you were both a charming girl and adult!
Wishing you, Rick, and the boys the very Best in the upcoming year!
So many lovely photos!
It is going to be a very quiet Christmas for us.
Merry Christmas . . .
I love your sweet face, smiles, curls.
Today, still you!
Merry Christmas, Jeanie.

Jeanie, love all the pictures. I see you had long curls too. My grandmother insisted that she do my hair up in rags so I could have curls like that. I hated it, but it sure looks cute on you! Hope you had the merriest of Christmases..xxoJudy

Fun to see your memories of Christmas through the years, Jeanie. Hope this year was a merry one!
Happy Christmas! I always love the throw back photos you share! I do not have many photos from my childhood - I think they are mostly in photo albums at my parents still!
Thank you for sharing these photographs.
Happy Christmas and my good wishes for the New Year, hard to believe 2022 is almost here.
All the best Jan
