That was sweet of hubby to make it a special day for you!!!

You guys are great finding these funny cards to cheerus all up! Thanks so much! I love it.Today was the first Christmas without my dad (he'sbeen gone 3 months now) and it was actually a good dayfor me. My husband got me everything I wanted, and mymom is is New York with my sister & her family. Thisafternoon I thought that (hubby) & I were goingto go to the Newport Aquarium but he totally surprisedme! We ended up at his mom's house about an hour & ahalf from where we live. When we were about 15minutes from her place he handed me a piece of paperwith her phone number on it & said "Call my mom & tellher we'll be there soon". Needless to say I was verysurprised. Luckily for his mom she's used to cookinglarge amounts of food & adding us 2 in didn't phaseher at all. 's brother, step brother & stepsister were there as well as his step-grandparents soI got my "family" fix in. I hope that those of you on this list that celebrateChristmas remember one thing that I realized lastnight at church--you don't need presents (althoughthey are nice), you just need your loved ones aroundyou whether it's family or friends!Take care, P.Cincinnati, OH
