Happy and Blessed Advent everyone.
We have a tradition in our family. As we approach Christmas we tend to visit family and friends and have gatherings usually at weekends. There's about four or five such gatherings leading on to Christmas day itself.
It was our turn last weekend and we had about a dozen people around.
As everyone was cheerful and merry I remembered an old lady who lives alone a few houses down the road.
No one ever seems to visit her. No family. No friends. No neighbours. No one.
Can you imagine that? Being all alone in her home at Christmas with no one with her. I felt sorry for her.
So I put on my coat and walked down to her house and asked her if we could borrow some of her chairs.
She refused.
What a selfish person. No wonder she is all alone at Christmas!
OK ... I AM JOKING
YOU LOT SHOULD STOP TAKING ME SERIOUSLY!
...family is the most important part of our lives.
ReplyDelete... also chairs.
DeleteGod bless, Tom.
Lol. This is fantastic. It's nice to meet you. Visiting today from Linda's blog.

Dearest Victor,
ReplyDeleteChristmas ought to be a family time—that's what it was when I grew up in The Netherlands.
Nothing like a commercial MASS ACT...
Sad and it is especially hard on the lonely.
Hugs,
Mariette
Too true, Mariette. It is a family time in our family too. Only, when we all get together we run out of chairs.
DeleteGod bless always.
No Victor, we never ran out of seats...😏
DeleteChristmas is all about family. Lots of fun time with the ones you see and visit.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree, Bill. We have great fun playing musical chairs. Next time I'll ask them to bring their own when they visit.
DeleteGod bless.
LOL, I wasn't expecting that! This year I'm grateful for having a small family.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to laugh, Mevely. With family and friends.
DeleteGod bless you all.
When I was young we'd visit family on Christmas Eve, it was about 6 stops along the way. We usually brought our own crabby person with us!
ReplyDeleteI guess every family has its crabby person. In our family, it's me. But I like my family. If it was not for my family I would be arguing with perfect strangers.
DeleteGod bless, Brian.
I didn't see that coming, Victor! :)
ReplyDeleteNo ... neither did I. I thought she would let us have some chairs.
DeleteGod bless Martha.
Family is nice to have around!! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, as long as they sit down.
DeleteGod bless, Happyone.
Heeheehee!
ReplyDeleteNext time, maybe she'll let you use the chairs if she can come along and use one herself. It might be worth a try.
Now that is sensible, Mimi. She should have offered me some chairs.
DeleteGod bless you.
