It won't be a white Christmas for us this year...no snow. But it's the third Christmas since husband's diagnosis in July 2009. I truly didn't think we'd get these and I'm grateful. Another day to go to Mass, have our usual Christmas dinner, talk with the grand kids on the phone. I'm happy.

    Very well said. My husband was diagnosed in October 2009 so we're right behind you and are so happy to have one more Christmas together. Merry Christmas to you and your family! What a joyous day it will be!

    How blessed! A joyful
    How blessed! A joyful Christmas. I normally go to Mass on Christmas day, but my friend asked me to serve at the 7 p m Christmas Eve mass. So instead of cooking on Christmas Eve, I'll be at Mass.

    I want to go to the Midnight Mass
    but none of my guys want to go. Well, the dogs would but they aren't allowed.

    One of these days I'll get to go.
