Lighting up the dark

It snowed all afternoon and evening on Christmas eve, adding an extra deep layer to our white Christmas. The sky was bright and clear Christmas day and since Santa thought to drop off a few sleds with the other sweet surprises, we talked ourselves out of afternoon naps and walked to the nearby hill to sail down the packed runs along with others from the community. Fresh air and fun.

The best thing about Christmas is family. Besides sledding there were laughs, thoughtful gifts, fun entertainment, laughs, singing, talking on the phone, playing games, eating, more laughs.

It was only a little more than 24 hours that we shared, but it was rich.

The best thing about everything, when you think about it, is family.

Sometimes the world might be cold, sometimes it might be dark. But with family there is light, warmth and color.

And never a dull moment.

XOX to the gang.
