I was so relaxed this morning that I forgot to post until now! We’ve just finished eating our french toast breakfast (cooked by me,) Don is cleaning up the kitchen, and we exchanged gifts. One of his presents for me won’t arrive until tomorrow, so we’ll exchange our other gift then. We decided on two small, relatively inexpensive gifts each.
We had a surprise on Christmas Eve morning. More snow had fallen overnight. Just about an inch. So, even though the temperatures were warmer yesterday, we had enough on the ground to guarantee a White Christmas. And just now, the sun came out! It’s truly lovely out there. We’re blessed.
We sang carols out loud in the car yesterday while we were doing last minute grocery shopping. We’ve been listening to Christmas music this morning. It’s a lovely and simple day.
Prayers for peace this Christmas and always. Don and I send our love to you and yours.
Stay safe.

Dear Claudia and Don,
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas day. I am sure you did because you were together and you love each other.
I too, hope for peace for this troubled world.
Take Care,
Kaye

Thank you, Kaye.
Stay safe.
Christine Brunton says
Merry Christmas to you both, thankyou for giving “us” a peek into your daily life, always a joy to see what you are up to. Love your little cottage, it looks like a “doll house”
Claudia says
Thank you so much, Christine.
Stay safe.

Your Christmas sounds lovely, Claudia! I’ve not been online for more than a few minutes since Sunday so I’m catching up! Ours was lovely too — both of them. But we’re pretty whipped from round one with the kids! I hope the rest of your holidays are merry and bright!
Claudia says
Glad you had a Christmas with the kids, Jeanie.
Stay safe.

Merry Christmas! Here’s to a peaceful New Year. Hopefully, Joy to the World will be more than a beautiful carol. <3
Claudia says
Yes, indeed.
Stay safe, Betsy.
