A Beautiful Christmas

Even though it was just the three of us, we had a beautiful Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve entertaining some visitors, delivering gifts to the neighbor's and eating lots of cookies. We also opened a few gifts in the German tradition. The grandchildren called from Edmonton, where they are visiting their other grandparents, and the offspring phoned from Hawaii. Read his adventures and see his pics on his blog

Christmas Day was spent opening more gifts, cooking the dinner and just generally having a quiet restful day. Mom was happy, she got the perfume she wanted (she doesn't want or need much at her age) and she got way more chocolate than is healthy for her. We will all be eating chocolate for months there is so much of it.

Today we are all going over to a neighbor's home for her traditional Boxing Day open house. There are seven of us neighbor's who get together twice a year, a summer barbecue and the Christmas thing. That's what it's all about, family and friendships. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.
