Kerry and Kelley spent Christmas Eve with me. After all was quiet and still, I did what I have done for umpteen years. Turn out all the lights except the Christmas lights, lie on the couch, listen to the midnight Mass and The Tabernacle Choir's Christmas programs, and bask in the feeling of CHRISTMAS!!!! and let it's peaceful feeling encompass me. I love all of you so much. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
This statement was taken from Mom's Blog. It so touched me and brought so many Memories back of all the Christmas spent with her.
Now I want to tell you about the best Christmas present I have ever received . I have always appreciated all the gifts given to me through the yrs from Mom and Dad, my Brothers and Sisters, and my children. This Christmas (2011) I received a very special gift from Mom and Dad, and especially from Mom. Jenny came and got me just before Christmas to go to a Christmas Concert that Sam and Josh were in. The whole concert was beautiful and I enjoyed it very much. When the last song was sung "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas" I felt a warm loving feeling come over me. The love was so strong that I started to cry, it soon turned to sobs that I could hardly contain. I knew that it was Mom there and she was embracing me with her love, and to wish me a wonderful Christmas. I will carry that wonderful feeling of love through the remainder of my days here in mortality. I love you Mom and Dad..........Merry Christmas.

What a neat experience. I.sure do miss my.grandparents.
When you first told me about your experience, it brought tears to my eyes. I'm glad you wrote about it, too. It's a wonderful thing to be blessed with mom's spirit close by. She really did love Christmas, didn't she!
what a blessing. Mom sure did love Christmas.
