Christmas will arrive in two days. The phone is very quiet and email has become almost non-existent as clients, friends, and business associates prepare for Christmas. Sheri and I attended our last holiday party on Tuesday and we’re now finalizing our preparations to spend time with our kids and 8 grandchildren. It promises to be a wonderfully noisy time filled with plenty of hugs, laughter, stories, gifts, and too much food.
Christmas will arrive in a few days. The phone is a little quieter and there aren’t as many emails as clients, friends, and business associates prepare for Christmas. Sheri and I attended our last holiday party Sunday and we’re now finalizing our preparations to spend time with our kids and 7 grandchildren. It promises to be a wonderfully noisy time filled with plenty of hugs, laughter, stories, gifts, and too much food.
Tonight, my 3 sons, one with his girlfriend, one with his wife and my granddaughter, and one solo, came over to celebrate Christmas with Sheri and me. I cooked homemade pizza (their request), and tried out a new dessert on them (they approved). It was a wonderful time to crowd around the dining room table, tell stories, laugh, recite lines from movies, and talk about what’s going on in each person’s life.
When I was a kid, Christmas seemed to take forever to arrive. I would make lists of what I wanted and even mailed a few off to Santa with the help of my mom, and then wait excitedly to see if he got the message. Sometimes he did and sometimes I just couldn’t figure out what he was thinking!
