Joyful and Triumphant


Another great Christmas holiday is in the books! To celebrate this wondrous holiday and the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, the family gathered for our annual Christmas dinner and pageant on Christmas Eve.

The food was delicious and plentiful, and once again my sister put together a fantastic Christmas pageant program, which included music by Ben and Jenna on the violin, Steve on the guitar, and Jessica on the piano and a duet by Dave and Kira.

Jackson, who had seen Star Wars: The Force Awakens for the first time Tuesday night and was very excited about the movie, created this for me out of LEGO bricks:


Jackson wasn't the only one whose mind was on Star Wars. Biz tells me that nine-month-old Kate picked out this beanie for me at the store and would not let go of it:


As for that weird kind of depression that sets in on the morning of Boxing Day when you realize that Christmas is over for another year? Save it for January 6th, because December 25th is actually the first day of Christmas and not the twelfth. In the meantime, I reserve the right to wear my Christmas socks and listen to holiday tunes through Three Kings Day.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
