Christmas Turned Out Fine…..
Woman in the Middle | December 27, 2013Folks, I wasn’t sure how Christmas was going to be this year. With the recent passing of Hubby’s mom and the illness of Big Bro, it had the potential to be a pretty sad season. But things have a way of working out and I am happy to report that we had a very nice Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, in spite of it all.
We thought Big Bro would be joining us Christmas Day but he just wasn’t feeling well enough to come over to our house or to have us bring dinner to him. That was very sad and disappointing for me in particular. It looked like it was just going to be the four of us around the Christmas dinner table, something that had never happened before. Then, about 12:15 or so one of Eldest Daughter’s friends stopped by. Eldest thought she would be coming later in the day so it was a surprise for all. She joined us when we tried out a new board game that had been under the Christmas tree and, as dinner time approached (we usually eat about 2 p.m.) I asked if she wanted to join us. Since her family had already celebrated on Christmas Eve, she was happy to be offered dinner. We were all thrilled to have another person at the table. She is a perky sort, so conversation never stopped.
As I said, things have a way of working out.
It looks like Big Bro is feeling a little better today, so the crisis has passed for now, I am happy to report.
Looks like you made it safe for this year’s holiday. It’s always good to have fresh blood at the dinner table too!
So glad it worked out for you. Isn’t God good? Happy New year!!! Wishing you the best for 2014!
I’m glad Big Bro is feeling better! Maybe he can join you on New Year’s Eve/Day.
It is good to hear that your big bro is doing better I hope he continues to improve. I am happy to read you had a nice Christmas Day
Glad you had a fun Christmas. Here’s to an even better one next year!
