We took a few days off this Christmas season to visit with my wife's family in the next state. It's always fun to pack a bunch of people into a house and watch the kids play together while the grown-ups enjoy grown-up conversation and WAY TOO MUCH COFFEE.
We sang Christmas carols and lit candles in church. We ate ham and lots of cookies and drank egg nog.
Gifts at home this year mostly consisted of whatever we could stuff into their stockings, with a few little odds and ends for each person. You see, our budget took several significant hits this year such as an unplanned car purchase and one enormous hospital bill.
I am continually amazed by the love and understanding of our kids. They LOVE opening their stockings so much they couldn't care less about other gifts.
Christmas is good.
