Secular Celebrations in Christendom

It was the archetype of Midwestern Days: smokey skies on the crest of the sun.
Christmas day, 2009.
I didn't have much to ask for this year,  there was not much I wanted
I didn't even make a list, but I got it all. Everything.
I had my family's love

No matter the circumstances, our family always has a good time; come rain or come shine.  It is no Christmas Miracle that things be that way.  We're just lucky. To have the family we have, so full of love.
