Tomorrow my son and daughter-in-law arrive for a long weekend. They are traveling from west of Indianapolis. Call it Thankmas or Christgiving. Either way -- good family time together. Just hope the weather cooperates and makes an easy trip for them. My daughter and her family will be spending time here as well. I think I am ready with preparations, but most importantly -- I am ready for family together time. Trust me -- there is never a dull moment when we are together. So fun! Time together -- best gift ever.
The tree is up. The food has been planned. The fridge is full. Presents wrapped. Christmas CD's ready to pop into the olde Bose. Life is good. We will celebrate two holidays and then each celebrate Christmas once again in a couple of weeks. Bonus. Actually in my family, as I was growing up, Christmas was always celebrated early -- on Christmas Eve. Santa even came early. He had a lot of places to be. Had to start early. No problemo. I have carried on the Christmas Eve tradition. It makes Christmas Day less chaotic somehow. Anyway ...
It doesn't matter a bit to me what day we celebrate. It is the time together that counts. I am blessed to have time with my loved ones. I don't take it for granted; that's for sure. Thankful here.
To others celebrating early -- Merry Christmas whenever! Ho... Ho... Ho... 'Tis the season....
