“They’ll be home from Christmas, if only in my dreams.”
Celina comes in tomorrow. Rachel, Mauricio and family are in Texas somewhere and will be here soon. Dimitri will be working at a YWAM base in Spain. His vacation time was eaten up by our tour of Europe, a willing trade-off. I still wished we could have both.
We FINALLY got a tree. It is one of those annoying traditions to keep putting off getting the tree. There are real reasons, but ….. I guess I shouldn’t complain. We have always had one, even if it was on Christmas eve! Then again we keep it up until the Russian Christmas on January 7th, at least. That is the other end of the Christmas tree procrastination. By that time I am at work again and it is harder to take down.
So, Merry Christmas to all of y’all. What a wonderful holiday to celebrate! God’s gift to us and our gifts to others. I love it all!

Y’all have a great Christmas! You are like us, not having everybody home. Oldest and family are off on their Great Adventure. They are in California now. Their oldest three, who still live 4 hours away, won’t be coming for Christmas after all. Except the oldest will stop in for a couple hours on her way home from her boyfriend’s family, who live about 30 miles south of here. At least our local son and family will be around. When they grow up, we know they will spread out, but it seems to happen so quickly!! Need to appreciate them while they are still around!
You’re going to have a lovely time this Christmas season, aren’t you? Be sure to cherish the moments, my friend. God Bless You!!! ; )
We didn’t get our tree until Christmas eve. Praying your Christmas was blessed and your New Year is grand.

Happy New Year!
