Cousins ... cousins!! WAKE UP! ... WAKE UP! Looka, looka ... looka !!! In the parlor ... at the Homestead! Santa's been here! He's been here and left us a bunch of presents! Look!! ...the smell of brewing coffee, tea or hot chocolate; Christmas music on the stereo or radio; stockings hanging and filled with gifts, fruits and candy; a fireplace with a warming fire; and those you care about and care about you ... A perfectly, wonderful Christmas ... Isn't our tree beautiful? ... We are such a special family. *sigh* Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and happy holidays to each of you. Colleen P.S. Are you a new cousin and wondering what all this about? Do we have a surprise for you! Go go http://bowercommunity.com/homestead and, once inside our home, go to the parlor. In the parlor you'll see a blinking tree; click on it and you'll be taken to another page (our family's Christmas tree) where there are gifts for you to "open." This is our online-family's cyberspace Christmas ~ a way for all of us to be closer to one another, even on the Net. It's something we do every year. We enjoy it and hope you do, too.
