Christmas Morn

I am not home as this little piece goes online, but we are with Shauna and the kids and are opening presents. However,  this is for you if you are at home, perhaps alone, and if you do fire up the computer. 

We slept over last night which is not always my the easiest thing to do, but the kids really wanted us to be there as part of the tradition that is meaningful to them. After we only had Christmas over a sputtering Facetime connection last year, I sure won't complain but will accept the sleepover with gratitude.

I have two more photos of Christmas lights from that cold night from which I shown several already. These two are on the same property as each other. A few years ago I took a comprehensive photo including both the house and the fence, so I photographed them separately this time.



This day is tough for some, but I hope you are doing well and finding some peace and joy.

  4. Merry Christmas, John and Sue and family. If you got an actual bed, your sleepover was a success! There's a lot of improv at this time of year.

    Enjoy your day.

  5. Merry Christmas to you and your family, John and Sue, while the sleeping accommodations might be less comfortable than in your own home, being together this year is paramount as you said.

  10. Hope the sleepover went well. We had our local brood over midmorning until 2. Our big meal was just after noon time. All went well. Nothing like Mad Libs at the table to keep the kiddos engaged. Then English Crackers at the end of the meal with bangs and magic tricks.

  12. Thank you for your kind and wise words. Xmas is tough for me but better this year, especially compared to last year which was lonely and isolating. Merry Xmas to you and yours!

  16. I think I found Christmas tougher than my birthday this year.
    Not as bad as the first one alone, after the divorce and the kids were at their dad's. It's all perspective.
