Christmas thoughts: My daughter’s first Christmas, and the wider circle of love
This Christmas was my daughter's first "real" Christmas. No she is not a baby, she is 17 and a senior in High School.
The reason I say it is her first one, is that this year she is working and decided to buy presents for all of our family herself, and in doing so, she went all out. And it was a joy to behold.
First some history.
Throughout Kayla's early years, times were somewhat hard. I was military, recently divorced and remarried, and frankly we had little money for many years.
Kayla never lost her holiday spirit, and always took great delight in Christmas, even when there were only a few presents under the tree.
