"It's like some people just come through our lives to bring us something, a gift, a blessing, a lesson we need to learn and that's why were here. Danielle Steel How do you feel about this?

My dad picked up a drifter back in the 80s. Dad was a truck driver who often helped people out on the road. He met a drifter named Dale in Florida. Dale was trying to get back to his family in California. Anyway, dad brought him home one weekend. The guy ended up staying at my grandmother's farm for awhile to make enough money for a bus ticket to California. Before this, I had always thought that drifters were all dangerous people out to rob, scam, and maybe even murder people (I guess I had watched way too many horror movies). Now, I would be too scared to pick up a drifter because of safety reasons, but I did learn not to judge a book by its cover at a young age.

One Christmas Eve tradition practiced by numerous families is Drinking Hot Chocolate and Tell Christmas stories.
Prompt: What is your favorite Christmas story to tell on Christmas Eve? If you don't have a favorite Christmas story write Christmas story.

I like reading a Christmas Carol and watching the 1938 version of the movie during the holidays. In fact, the 1938 version is the only one I enjoy or will watch. My favorite actress, June Lockhart, made her movie debut on there when she was only 13 years old. Just thought, I would slip a little bit of trivia. Here's another piece of trivia. Lockhart parents were on the movie too. They played the Cratcits (I forgot how to spell that last name).

I've had a terrible cold three times this month. It seems like I never completely get over it! I have relapsed within three days of getting better each time. I made myself go Christmas shopping this week because I hadn't bought a single gift for my family yet. Thankfully, my Christmas list was a short one!

Before I go, I just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
