Merry Christmas, My Friends





Wishing all my dear blog friends the merriest of Christmases.  May it be a day filled to overflowing with love, joy, and laughter.

Our family will be hosting a Christmas Eve dinner for 13 guests.  (The original plan was for 5 guests, but we live by the "no family should be alone on Christmas" philosophy, so upon learning of 2 other families who wouldn't be with loved ones, we invited them to join us.). Later in the evening---after our guests have departed---we'll focus on the real reason for the season with our annual viewing of The Nativity Story.

Christmas Day, as has become our tradition, we will be taking in a movie (Saving Mr. Banks, this year) and, afterwards, having dinner at a Thai restaurant.  And then to end our Christmas day, as we have been doing for nearly a decade, we will settle in to watch It's a Wonderful Life...my absolute favorite Christmas movie of all time.

Whatever y'all's plans, I wish you safety on the roads and happiness and love in your celebrations.

Merry Christmas!!!
