Before you, I never knew anyone that had a Birthday on Christmas Eve.
Christmas Eve has always been my favorite night of the year because of the inimitable magic involved in the anticipation of this night.
The sky, if cloudless, always seems clearer, the stars much brighter; or the snowflakes hold more glitter on Christmas Eve.
It seems perfectly suitable then to me, that you, the one with the most giving, selfless, spirit should be born on this perfectly special day on the eve of profound giving.
I wish I would have known you earlier in life, and yet everything comes together in timing, and so my knowledge of you only begins here...
Our girls weren't babies then, but they were little girls.
It's difficult to believe that eleven years have passed since we first met.
Since I have a tendency to think back and compare, I was thinking that at 55, my Dad also had a 16-year-old daughter (me), but also twins that were age 11, and the youngest daughter at age 9 and those were some of my parents most vibrant, happy years at the Orland Park house.
You and I began much later but I hope for continued good health for both of us, so that we can enjoy these many happy years to come.
Even though you're sharing your Birthday this year with the Family Christmas Get-together, I hope that I make the day special enough for you to know that you are fully loved and appreciated.
♥ Happy Birthday, Jim ♥
I love you,
Linda

I'm leaving tomorrow morning to go spend Christmas with my boys...mom is feeling much better so she's coming with me too:-)
My Christmas wish for you, my friend
Is not a simple one
For I wish you hope and joy and peace
Days filled with warmth and sun
I wish you love and friendship too
Throughout the coming year
Lots of laughter and happiness
To fill your world with cheer
May you count your blessings, one by one
And when totaled by the lot
May you find all you've been given
To be more than what you sought
May your journeys be short, your burdens light
May your spirit never grow old
May all your clouds have silver linings
And your rainbows pots of gold
I wish this all and so much more
May all your dreams come true
May you have a Merry Christmas friend
And a happy New Year, too .. xoxo
Happy birthday Jim! May you have a birthday filled with abundant blessings. And may you all have a very merry Christmas. :) Tammy
