A Simple Christmas

We spent a quiet day at home in the coach. A few Christmas shows were on the tv and the phone was in constant use. But mainly, we just relaxed and let the Christmas rush go by us.

No driving to see relatives or baking or cooking. No snow to shovel or last minute shopping. (We did go buy a loaf of bread to make toasted cheese sandwiches.) There were no obligations or pretend jolliness. Simply quiet, joyful peace.

Sure, there were some things we missed. We would have loved to see Jacob and Emma's faces as they tore open gifts. And the fact that Chris had to work Christmas Eve and Christmas day was not a pleasant thought. But, I know that one day we will all share Christmas together again.

Hope your day was all that you expected and guess what.....we get to do it all over again in 364 more days!
