It always surprises me that Christmas actually comes…I guess just because we talk about it so far in advance!  As always, our family had a really nice Christmas.  Actually every year we have 2 Christmas Days…one with Alan’s parents the Saturday before and then of course Christmas Day at our house.

This year I particularly enjoyed having our house decorated. It seemed especially cozy…I think we had the fire burning morning and night (pretty easy when all you have to do is flip the switch!)
