"Was Santa Good to You?"

Okay, so I apologize in advance, but I couldn't refuse!

The Jacobson Family had another wonderfully warm and memorable Christmas celebration this year. Even though our daughter Emily was not able to be with us, our cherished Aunt Nancy from Chicago, and our oldest son's girlfriend, Alex, joined us for the festivities,

We came home from church, built a fire, and gathered around the tree. Yours Truly read the Christmas Story and then I prayed, thanking God for all the blessings of the past year and for His constant faithfulness to us.

And then, Santa's Helper started passing out the presents. We take turns opening our presents, savoring the joy of discovery for each one.

Santa's Helper was especially happy when he opened THIS present!

To all my Fellow Rainers, may the coming New Year bring you and your loved ones great joy, happiness, and blessing!

Awe Rich, See! I told you it would be a nice Christmas! I thought maybe Santa brought you a doggie too! (He didn't bring me one either :( ) Thats a great photo of you with your Blogging book! My daughter sent me wonderful photos of my grandbaby with her half brother and assorted other family photos, that was the best present! In Daytona there was a Christmas Miracle of sorts so we had alot more to be thankful here at the end of Christmas Day. Happy New Year!

First of all, you need to do a cut-out of that hat so we can use it next year for some unsuspecting soul. Someone is bound to have a milestone birthday around Christmas. The Murph with friend

Nice to hear about your family traditions for Christmas. We had a great time as well. As my family grows, it gets better every year. Christmas is all about the kids! Even The Murph had a new 'friend' visit this year which he greeted in typical doggie style.

You Look MAHVELOUS in that hat. Now about the small tummy! ;>

Santa was indeed good to me. I have the blogging book sitting by my side as we speak. Any others we should be looking at?

Rich you were the warmest kindest Rainer when I first logged on - thanks for the inspiration in 2006 and I hope you have an incredible 2007!!!

Happy New Year!

While these are not my words, they are the words of an amazing rock song that conveys my wish to you on this eve of a New Year.

Craig - sounds like someone might have been a "Bad" boy last year. Were you "naughty" again?

Elaine - presents for dogs! No doubt Murph made out like a bandit! The dog in my blog belongs to my son's girlfriend. We bought her a nice polo from that really ritzy designer label store, Target'.

Kelly - it's great having you on ActiveRain. You're making some great contributions to our community. Now it's YOUR turn to spread the love!

Craig - New Year's can be a great time of retrospect AND an opportunity to start afresh. Thanks for the song! Makes me want to flick my BIC and wave it back and forth!
