Christmas seemed like a rush this year as work schedules and distance dominated our efforts to unite, but family ultimately prevailed. We had to content ourselves with connecting with Jeremy by phone, passing it around so everyone had time with him. Since everyone was not able to arrive until late on Christmas Eve, we visited a bit and then postponed our gifting until after Santa had arrived the next morning. After dinner that evening, Sarah and Travis headed back and then Jen and Danielle followed suit the next afternoon.
As always, we had a good time together punctuated by good-humored laughter. It is these moments of family time that make the holidays meaningful for me and the house seem empty afterwards.
