Merry Christmas

It’s almost midnight on Christmas Eve.  The flurry of preparations has come to a halt (for now) and almost nothing is stirring.  I’ve been so busy that I’ve not had the chance to make a special holiday post.  Here in bayou country, we do things a little differently.  Santa rides a boat, and the boat parades are beautiful.  Most of the boats that participate in the parades are shrimp boats, and here’s what they look like.

Four of my 5 children and two of their significant others are in the den watching a comedy DVD together. I am letting the youngest 2 stay up late to increase the chances of their sleeping later in the morning.

No matter what you believe about Christmas, I hope you took advantage of the time off from work to be with your loved ones, to remember one less fortunate than yourself, and to share a smile, if nothing else.

I wish peace upon your homes, and to all a Good night!!

I am determined to lean more on the Giver of all Gifts for the wisdom to know how to best care for the Gifts I’ve been given–to know which ones are worth keeping, which ones can be re-gifted, and which ones are not even worthy of the scrap pile.
