Christmas

I can’t let Christmas come and go with no mention on my blog. I hope you enjoyed the time you spent celebrating our Savior’s birth.

Here are my highlights and lowlights.

Highlights:

• Jesus came as a baby to live a perfect life and die in our place. Ultimate humility.
• The FOOD: prime rib, egg nog, rice pudding, pie, pie, and more pie.
• I got SPOILED with presents.
• Watched Elf (and stayed awake for the whole thing – a Christmas miracle!)
• Singing carols with the family – including our tradition of The Twelve Days of Christmas(complete with actions this year, thanks to my uncle’s suggestion)
• Cards, board games, more cards, more board games….
• Grandparents’ 67th anniversary. Awesome.
• Seeing lots of family and friends
• Relaxing – not working – sleeping – lounging

Lowlights:

• Forgot my little sister’s gifts at my house…oops
• Fell on my way to my car as I left for the weekend – bruised hip and elbow, but could have been much worse
• Not seeing some family and friends because of bad weather, changed flights, etc.
