I did not make it to listing 100 things I love by Christmas, but I am still going to post them as they come to me. Here are some more:
21. Christmas lights
22. Christmas trees
23. after-Christmas sales
24. presents wrapped and waiting under the tree
25. when the blizzard we've prepared for finally arrives and we are all safe at home
26. gratitude
27. admiring the talent of professional photographers
28. fleece blankets
29. Hawaiian pizza
30. palm trees
From Christmas lights to blizzards to palm trees . . . that is a pretty all-inclusive list!
Yes, the winds began to blow during the night, so we had the quiet Christmas at home with our children as we had expected we would do today. After struggling with some problems with being thankful in previous years, our kids were so thankful and happy with everything they received this year. It warms a parents heart to hear, "That's what I always wanted!" (Especially if it is something as simple as a pair of Spider-Man pajamas.)
The day flew by after we entered the world of Wii and tried out some new games. We had an early Christmas supper of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberries. Then all three kids were in bed shortly after 7pm.
It was definitely and out-of-the-ordinary Christmas, but a very nice one nonetheless. I hope yours was much the same!
