Well, since it is just my husband and I, it didn't seem like a holiday at all. I called my brother in law in TX to see how everything was. Well it seems like all good things now. On Nov 16th, my niece had a baby girl 1 lb 4oz. A lot of people have been praying for her, and when I called it was very good news. She has gained almost a pound and has been upgraded to the next level in ICU. The holiday was suddenly bright with glad tiding of great joy. This after all is the reason for the season - the birth of another baby, 2000 yrs ago.
