Christmas comes around again

I love Christmas, I always have. It's great to have friends and family all around this time of year and all the hustle and bustle of the season. That however it isn't as it use to be for me. Both my parents have been in Heaven for over a decade now, miss them very much especially around Christmas, which was both their favorite time of the year. My brother Paul and his family use to come when my parents were amoungst us but we don't get together at Christmas now, and they now have grand children of their own. Sometimes we would get together with our friends Jim and Carol but this year these friends aren't feeling well, they'll probably be spending Christmas at their daughter's as well as recouperating. For a number years, my brother Douglas and I spent time in Florida and at a friends house there for Christmas there. We have moved back to Western New York which I'm happy about.

Every Christmas at least for a few decades off and on now, I have asked God to give me a Born Again Christian single and available man of my age bracket. You see most men are just friends. Christmas seems a little sad because I never get that big wish I always am praying and hoping for this time of year, which is even better then opening a packaged gift, though I love doing that too. I know I am kind of particular about who I am looking for, someone with integrity and great looks (at least how I think is great looks), tall and kind of lean shaped or slightly extra lbs., keeps up with the modern ways, and sticks to the Christian life-style. Someone who doesn't pooh hoo things as being to seculiar though someone who sticks with their Christian values as well. Someone who enjoys being active in church. Plus who likes conversing with others and can be humorous as well as serious. Who is a people person. Sometimes I have to turn down someone because I just know that person doesn't meet my expectations  which can make people get upset at me for doing that. I think I know what I like, I think I know the man when I see who it is whether it is in person or in a picture. I really wish I could meet him at my church but it's a long shot when it's a large church. Which makes no sense but when people come and go quickly in a large church it's hard to meet them.

Anyway I love to have someone, especially as Christmas rolls around again. Even though I enjoy Christmas with it's music and the message and the decorations and the gifts. It's about time that I wish God would hear my prayer and surprise me with meeting that one in a million man that he would allow for me. I guess I am looking for that Hallmark moment in time and for ever.

It's a long shot in asking people sometimes if they know someone I might like because their taste really can't match my taste, unless you know me well enough.
