Lights around the tree
Mama's whistling
Takes me back again
There's something about December

We're hanging mistletoe
And hoping that it snows
I close my eyes and then
I can still remember
How to get back, home 

Let all your memories hold you close
No matter where you are, you're not alone

Because the ones you love are never far
If Christmas is in your heart
- Christina Perri

After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one's own relatives.

I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life. I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

My family is big and loud but they're my family. We fight and we laugh and yes, we roast lamb on a spit in the front yard. And where ever I go, what ever I do they will always be there.

I am not the boss of my house. I don't know when I lost it. I don't know if I ever had it. But I have seen the boss's job and I do not want it.

There is no such thing as fun for the whole family.

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.
- Audrey Hepburn

When the rain, breaks the road
Are you holding on, are you holding on
To your last good day
When the stone breaks the wheel
Are you holding, are you holding on
Til the stone rolls away

And I don't know
Is this the part where you let go
And tumbling out of a window
Is this the part where you find out I'm there
For you.

- Hem

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.
