Christmas was always a big day with everyone coming to my house. Food, presents, kids, animals and joy. But I had to move to Washington 7 yrs ago (economy) so it is me and my two sons who share my home. (works out great for us) but I do miss all the excitement. Still, facebook, email and phones are going all day with pictures, and messages form all. Not quite the same, but still good. The two boys and I exchanged gifts (got good things. smile) and they are cooking dinner. Plan on working on youngest sons flannel quilt this evening. We are fed, warm and safe. what more can one ask for......
