Christmas was wonderful.

Family, the tree, turkey (finally!), pie (chocolate pecan made with Ghiradelli... MmmMmMmmmmM), the fireplace crackling, warm smiles and hugs, hokey movies on TV, relaxing, renewing, the Christmas Eve candle light service, seeing old friends, hearing "great to see you here! we miss you!" from family friends and church members, sleeping in, watching the kids open presents, seeing my sister happy again, a heart-to-heart with dad,

yeah.

(the only thing that sucked is I was sick the whole time, and my plane didn't get in until 3:30am on Wed. night/Thurs morning.. but my dad was still glad to see me anyway)

And how was yours?
