This week is special. Christmas is about time with family and loved ones. It’s also about and spending it at special places like up north. We’ll enjoy fires in the fireplace and reading books and writing.
(This year, we are struggling with colds, so that’s not great.)
Christmas Eve we are having lunch with Rob and his older son. It’s also a time to spend with friends. We spend it at our local watering hole after an early Mass. We’ve really developed some special friends and enjoy good conversation.
Christmas Day is all about family. My daughter hosts our traditional Christmas breakfast of coffee cake/monkey bread, bacon and eggs. It’s become a tradition in its own right to have breakfast at her place. I love being with her and her pets Ron the cat and Stella the corgi. We look forward to it.
Other special food we cook includes goulash with potato dumplings around New Years Eve. We will also have a turkey with all the trimmings in the week between Christmas and New Years. Yum!
I’m super excited that my love, Rob, will be home with many days off. Time off is especially good for him right now. I get really used to having him home that when he goes back to work, I miss him a lot.
Christmas is really about love, joy, relaxation and time with those who really matter.
Merry Christmas!
