After all the...Brooke-lyn, I share that sentiment. After all the crazy antics that are associated with holiday shopping dies, and the narcissists get over themselves and stop the "I want" or "Gimme" chants, and the speed racers, who are rushing to make it to a relative's house for dinner before all the food is gone or someone has opened his/her gift, have reached their destinations, the environment has a wonderful layer of peace hanging over it. Hopefully in that silence, we all realize what the season is really about. We should be thankful we're not one of those headlines in the papers or scrolling news stories on CNN, our families woke up this morning with relatively good health, we have the necessities (food, clothing, shelter). I wish that universal feeling lasted all year long. This world would be a nicer place. Happy holidays and a safe and prosperous new year to all!<BR/>All that's all I have to say about that.

I have friends who I consider to be my family more so than my biological family. I'd like to thank all of my friends for their love, support and friendship. Find time today to let those you love know exactly how you feel about them. I Love you all!<BR/><BR/>Happy Holidays!Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-44288429028237575052008-12-24T12:15:00.000-05:002008-12-24T12:15:00.000-05:00The first year that I didn't celebrate Christmas w...The first year that I didn't celebrate Christmas was very difficult for me because I felt like I was separated from my family...However I realized that we were still together on this day and spending it as a family....As I learn more about the Holidays that Muslims follow I try to include Brooke and my Mom in our celebration....Thankfully they are receptive to this....But I also think about my new friends in Islam and how they have brought me into their celebrations as well...and that is where I am thankful for Brooke's friends who love and support her and in essence have also become her family as well....I thank all of Brooke's friends who are truly family to her and love and support her as well.....Happy Holidays<BR/><BR/>PS Rene I still accept gifts!!!!LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-74173848998430710322008-12-24T11:27:00.000-05:002008-12-24T11:27:00.000-05:00Happy Holidays to you all!Everyone enjoy the time ...Happy Holidays to you all!<BR/><BR/>Everyone enjoy the time love and happiness around you.
