The warmth and cozy feeling of love;
The singing carolers and beautiful turtle doves;
Children playing around the Christmas tree;
That's what Christmas means to me.


Mom and Dad kissing under the mistletoe;
Santa coming with presents tied with pretty bows;
Lights on the houses that you can see;
That's what Christmas means to me.


Stockings hanging from the fireplace;
A child with a wide smile on his face;
Shoppers hurrying down the streets;
That's what Christmas means to me.


Thinking of the night Christ was sent to give us hope and joy;
The care he gave to each girl and boy;
Knowing that, in God, you can always trust;
That's what Christmas should mean to all of us.


YES I WROTE THIS WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL FOR MY MOM, SO IT GOT ME TO THINKING THIS WOULD BE A FUN ASSIGNMENT, TRY TO WRITE A LITTLE SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO YOU, JUST LET IT COME FROM YOUR HEART AND MEMORIES.

Beautiful!

Welcome to all the new people!

welcome rohnda, a great group of people here. lots of support and friendships

Hello everyone. My name is Stacey. I need to lose about 100 pounds total, but when I started it was more than 120. I am involved in the Labor Day Walking Challenge and I am in the ROCKSTARS group. We do have openings if anyone wants to join a fun, serious-minded, powerful group. With them I have started to actually lose weight whereas before I tried to do it all by myself and was getting heavier. So, I was really excited to find out about this challenge as my big goal for 2008 has been to finally get back to 200 so I can start 2009 under 200 pounds. I want to thank you in advance for helping me to reach my goals, and invite you to reach out to me if you need anything and hopefully we can all be what we want to be at the end of the year. I believe together we can do it!!!

Christmas is magical and gives me warm fuzzy feelings. I always feel happy and so loved. I enjoy the cold weather and the sugar free hot chocolate time and fireplace fires. It's a good time to spend with loved ones and celebrate memories.

What Christmas means to me? It means family to me when we all get together and share traditions, giving and having a good time.
