  8. May the joy and laughter you have brought to so many of your readers find its way back to you, many times multiplied. Yes, and I love you, Victor, and Haley. God bless us everyone!

  9. Merry Happy Holidays to all! The gift of memories and of good times shared with loved ones are the best presents of all.
    I’m remembering my favorite holiday memories of my loved ones who passed on, and I’m grateful for times we had together.

  12. Currently not spending Christmas with my family either because I’m no longer talking to them after the events of this year. It’s nice to know that trials and tribulations bring some families closer together even if they’re miles apart. Cherish what you have.

  13. You are amazing! Thank you for sharing with all of us! Wishing you and your family the very best! Always. Today and every day!

  16. So lovely to see such awesome attitudes, thanks for sharing that. Tell your parents they are amazing.

  21. Merry Christmas, Lawsons! And to everyone: I hope you find some joy. Anonymous: I am sorry you are struggling; I send sympathy and solidarity.

    Let’s hope for an infinitely better 2021!

  22. I’m so thankful that we have technology to bring us together when circumstances out of our control keep us apart. Getting together with daughter and her boyfriend via Discord while we all opened presents was so much fun, and made the holiday bright. I must say, I have an excellent family, too.

  25. This made me cry. I would give anything to have someone love me so much. Thank you for sharing the love!

  26. Thank you Jenny, beautiful post and I am touched. I love you back and I’m glad you’re here!

  27. Blessings to you and your family. Thank you for all your posts. You are helping us through this mess of a year.

  31. Much love to you and your family, Jenny, and to all of us in this strange and wonderful little family of strangers you’ve built.
