The parties over
Christmas - Already over and resting

Our main family Christmas takes place on Christmas Eve night with all the children and their families gather at our house. Thus, Bonnie and my’s Christmas celebration is over before Christmas morning, leaving Christmas Day as a time for peaceful rest. I mostly like it that way…even if sometimes it seems a little lonely. ;-)

Earl, a Merry Christmas to you and your wife!
I have to admit that this time I did prefer Christmas morning to Christmas eve – finally getting some quiet moments when the kids were still busy with their new books and not yet awake enough to claim full attention. But I guess this will change over time…

Sounds all too familiar, Earl. We do pretty much the same thing. With no kids around anymore, Christmas morning is very quiet (as is most of the rest of the day). Sometimes I miss the chaos and sometimes I wonder how I got through it…..

First, I do want to mention I like the new layout, it’s easy on the eyes.

Yes, the Christmas holidays have changed for me over the years. Changes the holidays occurred with a divorce, the children starting families and creating their own celebrations, deaths of family members, and moving to different locations. I’m so glad you and Bonnie have that time for yourselves. From what I sense you two do enjoy your time together, alone makes it special! By the way, I really like this image.
