We're traveling this year, so it won't be quite as peaceful for us, but it will be nice to see family. I’m glad you’re having a peaceful Christmas.

Christmas is low-key for us this year: time with family, one batch of cookies baked, popcorn and a puzzle, decorations, but those are 90% done. The 10% is downstairs, just 'cause we didn't have quite enough time and refuse to get all stressed out about it. I love Christmas, but it's not the bustle and the shuffle and "things" that I love. It's warmth and togetherness and the reminder of God's love for us. So far a very good season indeed.
