Okay, I didn't get a pony for Christmas this year, but I did get everything I wanted.
I got to see my family. I spent time with my mom and pop, my brother, his daughters, and his wife. We played games, ate good food and better than all that talked and got to spend time together. I even spent an afternoon with my grandmother. It was a really wonderful Christmas.
Back home there may not be horses, but there are lots of memories and loving moments.
