5 Days in Dixie

5 Days in Dixie

I am all packed, gifts are wrapped and about to head to Birmingham, Alabama. I will be spending the Christmas Holidays with my brother Alejandro and my sister Sandra. Alejandro arrived in Birmingham last night, but I had to wait till today to leave. 

All I could get out of my siblings, my brother-in-law Beto and a few others was, 'There will be a BIG Party in my honor.' It seems there are people there who have yet to meet me and want to. Imagine that! I love making new acquaintances and all that implies.

When I was told about a 'BIG Party' all I could think of was Katt Williams and his skit on Comedy Central. It was about "Spanish People" and how they party for three and a half months. It made me laugh. 

I will do a BLOG on my time in Dixie, after Christmas. I will post a few photos of us, too. As always, I respect others by obtaining their consent on any photos I publish - via my blog. All my photos this month have been near my front door, because of all the unwrapped gifts strewn about. 

Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart, a wide open heart that thinks of others first. The birth of the baby Jesus stands as the most significant event in all history, because it has meant the pouring into a sick world of the healing medicine of love which has transformed all manner of hearts for two thousand years...Underneath all the bulging bundles is this beating Christmas heart.
