Another Christmas is here, and I'm up early waiting to do chores so we can load up and head to a place where family with gather. Around here, it's sure not a typical Christmas. No tree, no lights, and no food preparations in store. But there are presents to be gathered up and loaded, and then it will seem more like Christmas. I don't like to travel on Christmas, have had bad experiences with it. I had to make an emergency trip one Christmas in bad weather, barely made it home late in the day, just in time to save a little of the day. My trip today will be short, just a few hours of easy driving.
Here at home, we have the animal family that must be taken care of first - the cats and dogs. They're our kids these days, those little critters that keep life interesting . . . and busy. We even have a Tiny Tim with us this Christmas, a starving kitten that showed up about a month ago. He's a birth defect kitten, partly lame and very small . . . but he's a delight.
I always loved that little kid in the famous book and traditional Christmas movie shown each year. Everyone did, and he even got through to the bad guy in the end. My point here is simple: Don't overlook the little things this Christmas. They're important.
