      I totally agree. I lost my Mum to cancer the day after Christmas three years ago and Dad 13 months later in his sleep. They were my only family except my sister who lives on the other side of the world but that is a whole other sad story. My best friend of 35 years and her husbands extended family have become my family. They have helped me through this difficult time.

    Im loving that no one is noticing skin color. The kids are being kids. Just kids experiencing childhood. Something so innocent and precious. Something that so few kids are allowed to experience today. It FEELS like Christmas just watching this. A wonderful family gathering the way it used to be. These traditions are the most important part of a childhood. This is how wonderful adults are made. It all comes from the traditions that we experience as children.

    • @junbh2
      @junbh2 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      They notice it, they just don't care (unless they're trying to draw a picture or something where it matters). Which is how kids normally act unless someone teaches them otherwise.

    This video really took me back through the decades - to the 1970s! My college boyfriend was a student from Cameroon, and how he could cook! I was so impressed, because most American guys at that time didn't know how to cook except maybe eggs or something simple. But my boyfriend loved to cook and would make a stew with chicken and peanuts, fried plantains (your part of the video made my mouth water - havent had any in so long) and he taught me how to make "fufu" to use like a scoop for the stew. So wonderful! Looks like you all had a wonderful Christmas, and I am so happy you got to see your brother. I have to tell you that I am so fond of your Anthony. He seems like such a wonderfully nice and helpful young man. I am sure he is a big help with the little ones. And I am waiting and praying for Bella to come back to you all. God bless!

One of those times was to bury my sixty year old mother who was visiting me at the time. You are doing well to share your family with your children. They will later realize the richness of their new heritage. God bless you for teaching your children the real meaning of Christmas! Looking forward to next year! 😊
