Beth's Ponderings

   All I want for Christmas is…

   Depending on your age that could include…

    • a dolly or pair of skates

    • two front teeth

    • a hippopotamus

    • a yacht, ring, sable, ‘54 convertible, platinum mine, ornaments from Tiffany’s, etc

    • snow and the Christmas of one’s memory

    • one’s loved one

    • to be home

   There are many Christmas classics with the theme of gifts for Christmas.  But what do we really want?  Depending on your family traditions, what you might really want is...

    • a suntan

    • help with Christmas dinner (and the clean up afterwards)  

    • more time to create memories

    • a hot meal

    • less bills (or even better all the bills you do have paid off)

      Whatever you want for Christmas, may it be a season with some joy and comfort for you all.  Merry Christmas and I’ll see you in 2023!

Beth
