Merry Christmas!

Japra Christmas 2009

Oh, there’s no place like
home for the holidays,
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine
Of a friendly face
For the holidays, you can’t beat
Home, sweet home.

“Home for the Holidays” by Al Stillman and Robert Allen

    Oh those words are soooo true! I haven’t spent a Christmas at home in Argentina for a long time now!
    Merry Christmas!

      Aledys, I keep reminding myself that home is where the heart is. But during the holidays, there’s no place like being back with the family. XO

    I bet it feels great. Enjoy every pecan chile blessed minute of your stateside time.

    • japra says:

      It really does, Maureen. I’ve been fed so much on this trip. I’m going to have to do a lot of walking once we get back to the NL. I’m talking two pecan pies, one banana breeze, four Tex-Mex meals, and on and on. Oh dear!

      Christine, I know you are savoring every minute of the holidays with your wonderful family! I am looking forward to catching up on your activities after the holidays.

    Welcome Home. Your Wordless photo says it all! That is one of the prettiest spots from which to photograph our fair city–and a difficult one, too!

    You probably think it’s warm, but we have been pretty chilly here lately.

    Sorry that I’ve seemed absent…”snowed” under with “volunteer” work.

      Mimsy, I took that photo while my father was driving us home from the airport (on 59) last week. I realized I had not posted a shot of Houston from that side before.

      I’ve been wondering about you and hoping that you’ve been well. I’m glad to hear it’s just been work that has kept you busy. Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family. XOXO
