Happy Christmas 2014
Dec. 25th, 2014 08:20 amWe are in Atlanta at my folks. Caroline is re-reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire waiting for my brother and sister to arrive for the traditional Eggs Benedict and present opening. I think she is vibrating a little from excitement.
The drive up from Jacksonville did have some challenges including a couple of torrential rainstorms that crossed our path. Peter got through those safely. At one point my phone, his phone, the iPads and the car all started to make that noise you hear before the test of the Emergency Broadcast System however this time wasn’t a test but a warning of serious flash flooding in the area. That they could do it that locally was pretty amazing.
Last night was our traditional Christmas Eve dinner, which is a comfort. I know what is going to happen and when. I know I will be eating Christmas Cookies at the end of the meal. I know the ceremony before the meal. It is familiar having been played out all the Christmas’ I can remember first at my Grandmother’s house and now at my mothers.
Today we plan to go see Into the Woods for our Christmas movie. I plan to go see my friends Jeff and Angelo. And to finish up the day view the Doctor Who Special. Again traditions are important and comforting.
So Happy Christmas to you all. I wish you the best of the season.
I am grateful for traditions.
