Ring in the New Year: Year of Healing

Here are some photos from our Christmas celebration. Only one person couldn't make it -- she needed her R&R after a 3 week trip home and also carrying a baby inside.

So, we had a lovely time. We got a Charlie Brown tree and had a few presents. Books were notable (those present and not). Funny gifts and ones that had been lost and found were highlights. Musical gifts, gifts for others than the recipient, and gifts to make good food were all in abundance.

So were parties with old friends and new ones. Games to be played and noshes and drinks to be had . Even Boo, the doggie got her special Christmas treats.

It was special this year and perfect.

I love my family.

Hope all is well with you and this season of Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and Christmas finds you with your family and those important to you.

From all of us with hugs.

I've been working, cleaning and (gasp) community organizing. See blog here: www.northoakwood.blogspot.com

I'll get back to this -- fall is a'comin in. I'm prioritizing projects, sad about the cancellation of October visit by our daughter. However, I am planning Thanksgiving dinner with our son, daughter-in-love and Romy. Then, I will plan Christmas dinner with our daughter & BF. So, they will come to visit.

What is your favorite part of fall? I like the smell of the leaves, the promise of indoor fires, and nesting.

Take care.
