This Christmas season was wonderful but exhausting. We had numerous plays, concerts, banquets, dinners, and parties. Brett and I would try to schedule one night a week to just stay at home. It is the most wonderful time of the year but I think we're still recuperating.
Things were a little strange though. This is the first year ever that Danny and his family weren't able to be here. We have really been fortunate though. He has been in the service for eighteen years and this is his first year to miss. It just didn't seem quite the same. However, there was a slight package mix up on Christmas day so we probably talked to them almost as much as if they would have been here. I won't go into details as not to embarrass Danny...I mean...anyone.
Unfortunately, I got sick and was at MedCenter for over two hours on Christmas Eve and on the couch all day Christmas because the medicine that they gave me was too strong and threw me for a loop. I still had a ball watching miss Mag discover all of the magic that Christmas offers. By magic, I pretty much mean dancing and shaking her booty. She'll understand more next year but this stage that she's in is just so much fun.
Brett and I found that doing Christmas the "Ramsey" way wasn't as bad as we had expected. We had less to work with but were able to give more. That's more important than all the decorations and presents in the world... helping others in need. Hopefully, by next year, we'll be in a position to do much more.
I hope you all also had a wonderful Christ-centered Christmas season.
