12 Days

I haven't blogged in a month. The holidays have been a bit rough for a lot of people but at the end of the day we do what we need to to make our children happy. I spent a good holiday at home with my family, my boy didn't ask for too much but he is ecstatic on what he received. This made me think of all the children in the world, those that get everything, those that get little, and those that receive nothing. It's odd how those that have little or nothing are more grateful and appreciative of what they have, those that can and do have it all appreciate nothing. Sometimes it's better to give your children what is needed and hold back what they want so that they could become better adults. I have always thought that the Christmas holiday was more about love, unity and of course the birth of Christ. It is sad that not many people remember the birth nor the real meaning of Christmas. For Christmas doesn't end on one day but for 12 days does Christmas last, ending only after the three wise men or as some may call the three Kings of the Magi get to baby Jesus, January 6 is the end of Christmas. So if anybody out there did not know what the 12 days of Christmas was that is it, the journey that the king made.
