Thursday's Thought for the Day....

"When we recall Christmas past, we usually

find that the simplest things - not the great occasions - 
give off the greatest glow of happiness."

 ~ Bob Hope

I have found that the "simplest things" often are the ones I remember most vividly.
Things like a trip to the drugstore,
 to help the little ones choose the gifts they wish to give to their siblings and other loved ones. 
Singing carols in the car on the way to school.
Snuggling up together on the couch to watch a holiday movie or television show.
Donning Christmas aprons and baking goodies to distribute to friends and family.

Then repeating these activities, year after year, for the sense of comfort and security they bring.

Simple
Memorable
Wonderful

A wise and wonderful man, that Bob Hope.  

An English born American comedian, vaudevillian, actor, singer, dancer and author, he appeared on Broadway and radio, as well as in the movies and television.

He unselfishly made 57 tours for the USO between the years 1941 and 1991 to entertain our Military members who were far from home during the Christmas season.

That alone makes him pretty special in my book.
