Well, it is freezing cold outside and we are getting warnings of snow at 1000 feet! Who knows, we could have a white Christmas after all.
The last two days have been so nice. It has been in the 60's and sunny. I know, typical California weather. I look forward to enjoying a cold, white, beautiful Christmas next year. Maybe we will even have a little one to love on by then.
It has been a very low key Christmas in our house this year. The lights and tree are up and the Christmas tunes are playing, but I miss my family really badly this year.
I picture all of my nieces and nephews, brother, sister, and their families all gathered around their trees enjoying the holiday together. I miss that and I look forward to a future time when it will be easier to join them in their holiday celebration.
For now, Garrett and I celebrate together, with our spoiled little dog and our humble plastic tree. How great it is to enjoy the simplicity of the season together.
Here's to hoping that we all sleep in warm beds, with sweet dreams in our heads.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you, dear Beth!
ReplyDeleteI too am feeling a big lonely for the time when our family can all be together to celebrate Christmas.
I am praying that by next Christmas we will be not only celebrating the birth of Jesus, but will also be celebrating a new little one into our midst-via-Ethiopia! What a day that will be! Can't wait! May God bless each one of our family, including those we eagerly await.
