Christmas hugs

wherever you are.

Christmas cold mornings
digging out the car,
cups of hot cocoa
blended into memory
wishing to see you,
knowing it cannot be.
Hugging them a little
tighter, for you,
today.

like Julie said....the holidays are most difficult when we are missing someone who is no longer in our life.
sad description here....

I know you relate, thank you.

The holidays can be difficult when we are missing someone. A feeling I know all to well. Your poem is so sweet and simple - it has touched my heart.

Thank you. I thought of a lot of people, but mostly my grandfather, when I heard this song today at church.

It is at times like Christmas when we miss them the most. Good to see you have caught up with all the busy things the two or three weeks around Christmas demand of us, and are sharing some of the things you wrote in the rare breaks.

Thank I appreciate that.

Short and sweet, I like it! Though I've never had to dig out a car, because it snows very little here. Haha :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes well I have had to shovel out my car many times. Thanks.

You're welcome :)
