The Wonder of Christmas

You have seen this photo before, I think at least twice already, but I love it and have added a caption, and I think it is just about perfect for Christmas Day.



I think I'll slip this next one in here too because I would like to get it posted, and it will seem late tomorrow. I made this card to go with Sue's Christmas present, but I forgot to include it when we ported the gift over to the kids’ where we will soon be opening them. I’ll give Sue the hard copy before we leave . . . assuming I remember, of course.



For a number of years, we would sleep over at the kids’ on Christmas Eve, but my bodily issues plus my ongoing sleep problems make it better for me to be in my own house now. So, we spent Christmas Eve over there, came back here to sleep, and will head back over soon now that it is Christmas morning.

  8. It's wonderful that you still spent quality time with your family on Christmas Eve, even if circumstances have changed. It's important to prioritize your health and well-being, and it sounds like you found a great balance by being able to return home for the night.

  10. We haven't seen kids yet. Tomorrow. That said, we had virtual visitations, and I can now take my bra off. I'm a happy lass.

  12. Merry Christmas to you and yours. I visit my youngest's home Christmas Eve, go home and go back Christmas morning as do the rest of the non-residents including several of his kids. Jolly time.

  17. Our Christmas was thankfully spent in our own place this year instead of on a roaqd trip and the RI family came here for dinner. We all had a good time, now the recovery from too much eating begins.

  20. I hope your Christmas was wonderful -- I was late to the party! I'm so glad you shared both these photos. (And for that one, it cannot be enough times!)

  21. Beautiful photo of Sue and the one of Shauna brings a lump to the throat. Sleeping at someone else's house does become more difficult as we age. I used to curl up on a couch but that doesn't sound very enticing these days.
