A Christmas Story
"For unto you is born this day, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord". Luke 2:11.
I love the festivity around Christmas, with the lights, decorations, the songs and the many family gatherings.
I am very fortunate when it comes to family. I am part of 5 living generations: I have the privilege of having my grandparents as well as my own grandchildren.

It wasn't because of their health, it was because a winter storm hit that kept everyone in their homes. As the storm continued Christmas day was spent home with immediate family instead of with my mother and siblings.. It is reported to be the first time it has snowed "on Christmas day"in the Kansas City area in 37 years.
