Merry Christmas

It's not about unwrapping presents,
Under a colorful Christmas tree,
Secretly thinking our gift was better,
Than the small one we just received.

It's not about being kissed and cuddled,
Under the old mistletoe tree,
By that stranger who's lips are smiling,
Yet, we don't know how his heart feels.

It's not about getting together,
Wearing new clothes for Christmas brunch,
Nor are the drinks, deserts and coffee,
Family stories, gossip and smiles.

My wish is that on Christmas morning,
We wake up feeling we're not alone,
We have been given the gift of friendship,
Which we should make last all year long.

Jo / Always

I wish you peace.... and love

Hi Jo,

Thanks, it is good to know that there is somebody out there thinking of you. You where never out of my mind as well.....

I see that you still hold the quality here up high, in word and photo.
Respect, and I join you in under scribing this purpose of Christmas.

Although I have done nothing on photoblog lately.
My account got expired, And after renewal , it didn't get activated again.
Mailing to photoblog didn't help so I gave up.

Anyway I moved to my own domain on http://www.photogrund.nl recently.
(Still building)

As for the best wishes.

From us to you and your family , the happiest moment during the Christmas days, and for next year, all the luck, happiness and love.

HUGH , Daniel

Jo, yo me la estoy pasando de maravilla. Ahora siento cómo lejos de casa también se puede Vvir -en mayúscula- la navidad :)
Tengo tanto qué desearte en estas fechas que ni sé por donde empezar, pero las resumo todas en el origen de todas las cosas: mucho amor y miles de bendiciones.

Ernst y yo te devolvemos el abrazo rompecostillas :)
