. . . and a fun time was had by all.
Our “midnight” mass on Christmas Eve started at 10, but be still didn’t manage to nestle snug in our beds ’til nearly 1 in the morning. We were thrilled to have the kids sleep in ’til 8:30, at which point James burst into our room and yelled something to the effect of “Wake up!! It’s Christmas!”
So we got up, opened some presents, had some breakfast, assembled things, took Ginger for a long walk, had a snowball fight, shot some hoops outside, went to dinner with friends, ate too much, drank too much, sang some songs, came home, and camped out in the living room before a crackling fire. Not too shabby.
We really got in the spirit this year thanks to Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” which we read by the fire over several days the past week. At 9 and 6, the kids are just getting old enough to sit in rapt attention at the tale, and it’s a tradition we hope to continue for many years to come.
Merry Christmas, and God bless us, everyone.
