Re: Do the Walton's really exist?

[Guest guest]

Wow Kazam! I can very much relate to your Christmas day experience and don't

think I could have articulated my own thoughts or feelings better! I too had my

first Christmas N.C and despite having my " moments', tried really hard to focus

on my blessings and creating new family traditions with my beautiful family.

I found your account of driving with your husband and daughter listening to

Carols very beautiful and moving (and humerous!).

I might join you in your pursuit of attaining some Walton's and 'status.

Ha, ha!

Normality and gratitude. Bliss!

Thank you!

Thanks Lynda,

I sent you another comment on my other thread thinking it was this one. Asked

you a couple of questions that I was interested in your reply. The questions are

in the thread about Nada sending xmas card.
