Like the Who's down in "who-ville" Christmas is a big deal at our house. But not for the size of the gifts. For the joy of the season. For the fun of decorations and surprises planned. For songs and lights. Posters, slippers, bracelets and a toy dino can elicit as big a smile as a big bucks gift. Which is good as with a trip to Florida in May there were not big bucks for this Yule time. Probably the priciest gift was Rob's gift of 3 snowboard lessons from us and my promise to Chet to have another ear piercing done for him this week w hile I am on vacation. But even those, really are so much lower cost than many of our friends spend on the holidays.
KC got the best present of all and it was totally free! His picture in the holiday picture contest was published in the local newspaper on Christmas Eve. We didn't know till long after he had gone to bed so we told him first thing this morning.
We have called family and friends and wished them seasons greetings. Many are playing with some wonderful high tech toys and big screen TVs. I am glad for those who have that and want that, and equally glad that we can have genuine fun with less. We are now hanging out and playing games, watching snow flurries dance in the air outside. Merry Christmas all!
