WHAT IS A PERFECT CHRISTMAS!!!

BLOGGER WON'T LET ME ADD PHOTOS RIGHT NOW, SO I WILL TRY AGAIN LATER. TO ME THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS IS BEING WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. WELL, MY DREAM CHRISTMAS IS HAPPENING AS I TYPE. I AM IN GUATEMALA WITH MY DAUGHTER, MAYA. THIS HAS BEEN AN AMAZING WEEK. THE ONLY THING THAT COULD HAVE MADE IT BETTER IS BEING WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I LOVE BEING HERE WITH MAYA BUT I AM A LITTLE SAD TODAY ABOUT MISSING CHRISTMAS WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. HOWEVER, I DO NOT REGRET MY DECISION SO SPEND CHRISTMAS IN GUATEMALA WITH MY DAUGHTER. WE HAVE HAD SO MUCH MOTHER-DAUGHTER TIME. I LOVE EVERY SECOND OF IT!!! HERE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT I LOVE AND MISS ABOUT CHRISTMAS WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

1. DEBORAH: I JUST MISS HAVING YOU AROUND TO TALK TO AND SHARE THIS WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. I COULD ALSO EAT SOME OF YOUR GREAT CHICKEN PIE!!! YOU ARE THE BEST FRIEND THAT I HAVE EVER HAD. I HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A GREAT CHRISTMAS.

2. GRAVEY: I MISS ALL THE LOVE THAT YOU GIVE ME. THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL TIME OF THE YEAR AND I SO WISH I WAS THERE SPENDING IT WITH YOU. MAYA IS GOING TO LOVE SO MUCH. I COULD EAT SOME OF YOUR MEATBALLS RIGHT NOW. YOU ARE THE BEST GRANDMA A GIRL COULD EVER HAVE.

3. SISSY: I MISS YOUR ICE BOX FRUIT CAKE. I WILL TRADE YOU A TAMALE. GROSS!!!

4. DADDY AND CINDY: I REALLY MISS ALL OF THE CHAOS AT YOUR HOUSE ON CHRISTMAS MORNING. RIBBON AND PAPER FLYING EVERYWHERE.

5. MOMMA AND ROBERT: I MISS ALL OF YOUR COOKING MOMMA. I ALSO MISS PLAYING CARDS WITH YOU AND DERITA.

6. KAYLON: I MISS GETTING TO DRAG YOU OUT OF BED ON CHRISTMAS MORNING.

7. DERITA, MACKENSI, GABE, TYLER: I MISS BE THERE TO SEE WHAT SANTA BROUGHT YOU AND SEEING THE EXCITEMENT ON YOUR FACE WITH ALL THE GIFTS.

THESE ARE JUST A FEW THINGS AND SPECIAL PEOPLE THAT I MISS ABOUT CHRISTMAS. I HOPE AND PRAY THAT NEXT YEAR WE (INCLUDING MAYA) CAN BE TOGETHER.

I LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH AND MISS YOU SO MUCH. HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A GREAT DAY!!

GINGER
