The holiday party has been thrown and cleaned up after. The Christmas shopping is done and the presents wrapped. The cookies have been baked, the Christmas cards sent, and Santa has heard the wish lists. My work here is done.
Now it’s time to pack the bags and begin our holiday visits. There will be cousins to play with, the illuminated glory of Candy Cane Lane to stroll, and relatives’ homes brimming with holiday cheer and revelry. Time to sit back and enjoy the season.
The tree with all its presents will be waiting, a happy dog will greet us (thank you blessed house sitter), and the cookies, milk and carrots will be set out by sleepy children arriving back home just in time to snuggle in bed before Santa arrives. I love the magic of Christmas.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
