Dec 2013

of children, is one of life's greatest joys! I have four grandchildren, 2 boys and 2 girls, aged 6 to10. We all live within 5 minutes of each other and it's been seven years of tradition to come to Nana's house for lots of presents from
Nana and grandad - not Santa and a huge Christmas feast.

She, I know how gifts like that are so precious and I treasure all the sweet choices and those handmade gifts.

I've always made a big fuss with Christmas and birthdays, because it allows families to come together and celebrate the love we share with one another.

Merry Christmas to you, She and all my friends here in the BOG
