A Merry Senior Christmas to us all.

I don't know what you're doing this morning. I started by calling everyone I have a phone number for and singing "I wish you a Merry Christmas". It was a lot of singing, and some I left on voice mails.

I'm sitting alone in my den. My two trees are lit. I have a TV channel on that has dedicated today to a burning Yule Log and real Christmas music.

I need to do some picking up in the house. I'm alone but not lonely. Marshall's picture is looking right at me. He loved Christmas so much.

I have a few people who will be joining me this afternoon for a Turkey dinner and all the fixins prepared by a local market that cooks the whole meal. All I have to do is heat it.

I'm thinking about past Christmas'. The funny ones, the ones where all, I mean all the family was together.

The hassle of shopping, and Marshall was the gift wrapper. He loved it.

I can remember when there were so many packages that there wasn't room under the tree for all of them.

I remember how wonderful Marshall smelled when I bought him the first bottle of Polo perfume for him.

I remember the most outrageous gift Marshall gave me was a hand held small vacuum cleaner. I didn't have a floor model at the time. I hardly knew how to respond to him. It was obvious that if I was going to use it on the floor, I'd have to do it on my hands and knees. I don't know what he was thinking.

I think I know how men must feel at Christmas. No "toys"!!!

And then the childhood memories of Christmas, and Christmas programs we were in.

It's all so good. I send my love out to light a candle in the places where you, like me, are celebrating a part of Christmas alone. It's not so bad now, is it? Merry Christmas, Love, Pollyanna

Sofia, it was one of the most pleasant Christmas' I can remember. It's January 8th and my trees are still blinking at me. It's been very dark and rainy here, so since the trees are artificial, I can leave them up as long as I want...Thank you for stopping by Sofia, Love, Pollyanna
