Post Christmas German dinner displays a continuation of the celebrations and festivities. Celebrations should continue on a daily basis for it is family and friends we truly celebrate. Think of all the things you are grateful for, and remember to keep that treasure chest of memories open throughout your life; the world cannot fulfill the measure of its calling without the people in it.

I am grateful you are here contributing to this world. Your existence plays a large part in the heavens and also in my heart.

In this video we can see that Santa Clause is not just for the children. Santa helps adults to remember their childhood dreams! I was also invited to whisper in his ear and share some of my wishes. He definitely was the real thing. The beard was real, he had rosey cheeks, and the famous pot belly. I wanted to take him home with me, but instead I have the memory to last a lifetime!

The next article we continue the party after our famous guest leaves. Think of candles lit everywhere, especially in the heart…

Enjoy Christmas dining at Andreas, Leavenworth. We had such a blast! There was another celebration, as you’ll notice towards the end of the video. A lady celebrated her 90th birthday and enjoyed dancing to the song of life! Perhaps we should follow her example and celebrate each day of our lives with songs of youth in our hearts!

Perhaps this is a good time to reflect on these words: “A youthful heart remains soft and supple and is pliable enough for hands to mold. An aged heart that becomes hardened and tough, is susceptible to cracks making it difficult to work on.” This 90 year old woman knows the secret to her longevity!

The next article will show a couple of videos taken the day of our departure. Photos will also be displayed including a breathtaking Alpine landscape.

Thanksgiving turkey feast is a great excuse to get family and close friends together. It is also an opportunity to put all distractions aside and live the life we are meant to live. Sometimes we are bent on looking for that pot of gold and few realize that we live in the heart of it.

Enjoy the celebrations and allow them to continue in your heart. Every season brings its own celebration.
