I love Christmas. I felt anxiety at the beginning of the week but decided to let that go right away. It wasn’t easy, but was worth it.

Tonight we had an early Christmas dinner with our friends any my parents. Everyone worked together and it was a fabulous day.

The boys watched football, the kids played outside, the turkey cooked on the smoker for several hours while Mom and I played cards. It doesn’t get much better than that. Juliana baked a pecan pie that we enjoyed with homemade cookies and pumpkin pie for dessert before opening presents together.

Life is good. Wishing you joy and peace and love. Merry Christmas!
