Songbird,

It is amazing that you are able to bring the joy of Christmas and keep the innocence of your 10 year old's belief in Santa going strong while struggling with CRPS. Although some of that innocence may fade in the coming years, hopefully some of it stay with your daughter as she grows into a young woman. The belief of the Christmas spirit and memories of the love her parents have given through her childhood is what keeps the true magic of Christmas alive with us all throughout our lives.

This is my first Christmas that CRPS has come in the way of enjoying Christmas to it's fullest, but I decided yesterday that I will not let it stop my from being able to enjoy it completely. The Christmas spirit still lives within me after all these years.

May you and your family have a truly wonderful Christmas.
