In 2002, hubster came over on Boxing Day (day after Christmas)...is that close enough?

Then in 2003 & 2004, I went there for the holidays (we were married on New Year's Eve of 2003), and we've been together for good since 2005. This year we will go to England for the holidays, and take my family with us!!

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

This will be our 4th Christmas spent together.

The first Christmas after we started dating we would have been together, but I decided to take a solo tour of Umbria, Italy over the holidays. Worst Christmas of my life, I think! No one should be alone at Christmas if they can help it. :(

I went to Morocco for Christmas vacation 2 years ago and I got so homesick for Christmas that I left a few days early on Christmas Eve. It was so sad without a tree and my family. I have never spent a Christmas without them!
