Merry Christmas to All

I've decide to send a short greeting. I do wish you all a merry Christmas. Stacey and I have had a hard time feeling the season this year. The lack of snow and continuing rains don't help matters. I know we're better off than most but we find ourselves worrying more about our economic condition even so. Thank God that we grow most of our food. Yes, I'm still employed but even though I make what I consider a good wage; it seems to go a shorter distance than it used to. I worry about our friends in harder straits than us. I can do little more than pray for them.
It's a T.J.Max Christmas for the most part. Practical gifts bought cheaply at deep discount will be under the tree. We don't have much in the way of needs, perhaps Stacey more than me. It's just that I can't manage anything that I know will make her light up and smile.That's rough on a husband. I know, I know, that's not the point of it all but it bothers me anyway.
The farm is doing well but I have fence repair to do. I hate fence repair. It tears up my hands. Not the skin mostly but my finger joints.
No photos this time, just best wishes. May God keep His Hand on your shoulder. JEL
