It's Christmas Eve

It’s Christmas Eve and there really is magic in the air. 
As most of you know, this Christmas Princess Beatrice and I are in two different places taking care of family.
I was going to write about this very special time, but one of my favorite musical groups, Alabama, just came on Pandora and has said it best in their song Happy Holidays.
Smilin' faces on city streets
Crowded shoppers, busy feet
And every smile just seems to say
We're having some happy holidays


Twinklin' lights on Christmas trees

Kids up on Santa's knee
Busy lines on telephones
Sending a Merry Christmas home



Bells ringing everywhere

Season spirit in the air
Up and down the avenue
Holiday dreams comin' true



A choir singing songs of cheer

Carols we all love to hear
Rudolph with his glowin' nose
Lovers under mistletoe



Postman bringin' Christmas cards

Reindeer out in the yard
Frosty with his eyes of coal
Present wrapped in pretty bows



Sidewalks full of happy eyes

Flakes fallin' from the sky
Boys and girls at the big parade to see
St. Nick up on his sleigh



The scene is set, it's beautiful

Sounds of peace, joy and love
From all of us we'd like to say
Have yourself some happy holidays

Sorry you are spending Christmas apart.....but only in miles not in your hearts. Happy Holidays to both of you.

So sorry you two are apart this Christmas...but you are both brightening the special day for some very special loved ones. That, my friend, is about as selfless as it gets!
Merry Christmas!
Looking forward to having coffee with you and the Princess real soon =)

It is a tough Christmas to be apart. I think that the family members must appreciated that which you are giving to each of them.

As I write this, I hope you're both getting together soon....
