Merry Christmas!!
It’s after 11:00pm on Christmas Eve and the children are (finally) snuggled down in their beds… I’m not sure that they’d even recognize a sugar-plum if it fell on them. I don’t suppose I would, either.
Nonetheless, the excitement of anticipating Christmas has been very recognizable as we have adjudicated debates over whether it is proper to count today when discerning the number of days left til Christmas Day. Now that the house is quiet, I’ve a moment to count the days since last Christmas and to be thankful for all of them. We’ve had our ups and downs this year, as every family does, but looking back over 2008 it has been a good year.
