Today, Monday, we began food preparation for our Christmas Eve family dinner. We'll have turkey and all the trimmings. We'll have candlelight and crystal. We'll do fancy. I thank my family for letting me host Christmas Eve. For me it is the magic time.
It will be the six of us: the two of us, our two kids, and our two grand kids. And it will be the same six who gather at Jill's house Christmas morning, for breakfast, gift opening, and a slower, more casual day.
We are fortunate to have our loved ones near to us. We are grateful for our blessings.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays!
And a very Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
