Togetherness.
We are heading up to my grandparents' for the holidays. Christmas up there is filled with cousins, warm fires, soft light, and plenty of family time. My grandma puts up a stocking for each person in our expanding family, and on Christmas morning each one is filled with knick-knacks and fresh oranges.Christmas Eve is when we head to the little church on the hill for carol singing and candle lighting. All of us kids are complete in our satin dresses with big bows and our shiny Mary Janes. Soon after the service, we scurry to bed where our grandfather reads "The Night Before Christmas," topped with wacky voice animations and fuzzy pj's.
Christmas morning, well that is just plain magic.
May your Christmas be filled with love, warmth, and magical togetherness with those special ones.

ReplyDeleteMy daughter started taking piano lessons when she was almost five. I have always dreamed of someday standing around the piano and caroling together as a family. Guess what we're going to do tomorrow?? Sloane has been practicing for weeks. She has a mini concert prepared for us. Togetherness indeed.
ReplyDeleteWe will spend Christmas together with the family this day (2nd Christmas day we call it) because my dad had to work yesterday.
ReplyDeleteSo the presents underneeth the tree are still waiting for us.
May the fire be warm and make our hearts glow.
Happy times to you all. Hugs Dagmar
