12 Days of Giving #12

Last Challenge- no cost except time.

Give a moment to remember what's important.

This is a season of great importance in many religions. For other families there are traditions and  rituals that help bring the family together and give something to celebrate. Slow down in the middle of the visiting, the cooking, the serving, eating, unwrapping and squealing to put it all in perspective.

Another part of being thankful…

~~~

Thank you for joining me over the past days. I'll be posting the names of the people drawn for gifts and for the $100 charity donations on Boxing Day.

From my heart I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas. I'm so thankful for all of you.

In these latter days the stock you can find in online pharmacy is actually high. Some medications are as a rule used to treat many types of bacteria, such as tonsillitis and infections of the throat. Other ones are used to treat diabetes. Cialis is a remedy used to treat divers afflictions. What do you have to know about cialis order online? Presently many families search for the exact keyword ordering cialis online on the Internet. Perhaps you already read something about it. Having erectile disfunction can beyond doubt complicate romance. What can cause erectile disfunction? A row of psychological issues can produce erectile dysfunction. What should you discuss with a physician before taking Cialis? Any curing may cause dangerous side effects. Sometimes side effects can be actually dangerous. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medicine.

Thank you, Ms. Vivian for helping us all find a sense of the more spiritual side of a holiday that, many times, is much to hectic and busy to enjoy. Thanks for reminding us what really is important, and what can be left for another day. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and that all stay safe.

Today I asked for patience and calm. Then I realized how much I have to be grateful for. It is important to stop and remember that once in a while.

Have a glorious holiday!

Thank you for making this xmas season a bit more special! I’ve enjoyed coming back to your site to see what you’ll ask me to think of today…it’s taken some of the rush and craziness out of this holiday season! You’ve already been a TB author for me, so I thank you for your wonderful stories as well! Hope you and yours have a great Christmas!

Thank you for the last 12 days. The reminders have been wonderful little tidbits that have definitely made me stop and think and be thankful for what I have. Today’s challenge is a good one for making sure we recognize what the craziness of the season is all about. It’s something that is important in my family and we try to make sure we never lose focus of that.

Have a wonderful Christmas!
