Christmas became a romantic holiday for our family this year. Not one, but two proposals of marriage were given. My daughter received a beautiful engagement ring on Christmas morning. Must joy and excitement from her by phone till we all gathered to share her joy. All become excited to enjoy family time together. Delicious food was prepared by my family as I drove home form the E.R.the only bonus of having to work on Christmas morning. We then moved on to the gift wrapping contest then the exchanging of presents.
When everyone was finished opening gifts, my granddaughter receive a gift. It was presented by an actual on the knee proposal. She shed tears and very happily said, yes also. It looks to be two weddings in 2009. It reminded me that I had received my engagement ring for Christmas 40 years ago. How the passage of time seems to speed by so quickly.
