Kathleen says,
“Wishing everyone the merriest Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you for all your wonderful support you have sent me this year. I cant tell you how much it means to me. It took until the 24th, but I did get my tree up and decorated. My brother Drew and his partner Richard did a beautiful job decorating the outside of the house”
Christmas is a big deal for her. She really loves it. She enjoys the food, the cooking, the tree. We dont really do much presents for each other. We are at that age where we truly feel we have all the “stuff” we want (certainly more than we need). It is the company of family and friends that is important now. Although Kathleen did have a lot of fun buying all sorts of little things for her friend’s daughters 🙂
So, where ever you are this holiday season, Merry Christmas / Happy holidays to you. Its been a tough year for Kathleen and I, but our friends and family really helped us get through it.
Back to the chemo this Friday after a week delay.

Wishing both of you and your family a wonderful Christmas. Your tree looks beautiful Kathleen. So nice that we have a little skiff of snow to make it look Christmassy too. Glad that you are back on track for your treatment. Hope to see you very soon.
Brilliant sparkles of light in that tree! I hope that is the kind of day it was for you both! Sending you happy wishes to celebrate this season of lights. With wishes for a New Year that rings of peace, prosperity, health and happiness.
Much love to you Kathleen, Mike (Elaine, Drew and Richard)as you celebrate together.

Dear Kathleen and Mike,
So true, Mike, as we age, we realize more and more the best gifts at Christmas time and always is the love of family and friends. Thank you for you guys in our life , you have brought us much as well. We wish you both so many good things! Beautiful picture! Happy Christmas season wishes to all of you!
Merry Christmas Kathleen and Mike! Your tree is beautiful, so happy to hear you were able to get it up and decorated. We had a nice Christmas with family and friends – and of course, lots of good food. Wishing you all the best in the New Year – I continue to pray and think of you often. Hugs, Marg
Dear Kathleen and Mike, What a lovely message from “our sponsor” and indeed a wonderful reminder of who and what is important in life especially at this time of giving. Such a warm and peaceful photo of you, Kathleen enjoying the lights and beauty of your Christmas tree. I am thinking that Ms. Betty and Mr. Orville must like the tree as well. 😉 Very happy to hear that you are all in the company of your loving family. Sending big hugs, lots of love and all good wishes to you all from a most beautifully snow covered Ottawa.
