Merry Christmas Y'all

Writing this a few minutes before midnight on Christmas Eve as I contemplate just how blessed I am to have my whole family here this year. Last December my son was in Deer Valley, Utah, recuperating from a terrible ski accident.

Tonight everyone is healthy and there are no empty beds in our house.

We went to church, left carrots on the porch for the reindeer and cookies and milk for Santa on the table. The 3-year-old is finally asleep and gifts are under the tree. Christmas preparations are over and I’m enjoying this quiet interlude before the craziness that will surely come in the morning.

Wishing you and your families every happiness today. Merry Christmas!
