| The magic of Christmas |
Our family is many miles away, so this Christmas we are remain connected
through email, videos, phone calls and FaceTime. We know that our children are happy and are developing their
own holiday traditions, and that is how it should be.

A quiet day here provides time for reflection on Christmases
past, both of our childhood, and of all those magic moments for our children
during their growing up years.
We remember when our daughter woke us in the middle of the
night because she heard something on the roof, she was sure was reindeer…we
advised her to return to her bed quickly before Santa saw her, and she did.
Our young son pronounced one Christmas morning, “Look, Mom,
Santa shops at J.C. Penny, too!” I
had left his toy in the box in which it was shipped.
As we watch the videos of our young grandsons, as they made
cookies for Santa, and put out a plate of carrots for the reindeer, and then left
the fireplace door open a crack, we are happy to see new family Christmas
traditions starting.
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy and
healthy New Year.
