Just got done playing santa and laying out gifts for my neice and wrapping the last present. My niece left a big bag of oatmeal for the reindeer which I took from my sisters house to keep up the fiction. It will get returned to her in the next week or so. We ate the cookies and poured the milk back in the jug. I think this is the last year of santa.
Just put the last dish in the dishwasher after hosting Christmas Eve for 14. Finishing off the mostly empty open bottles of wine. Now I can relax and enjoy Christmas with MY family. No Christmas Eve service for me. I've had it people, noise, and small talk. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas! Not quite midnight here, but close. My two kids are home for the holiday. We had a late supper, which just wrapped up. Great food, even greater conversation - I love having adult children. We're having dinner at our friends' home tomorrow, so we had none of the usual "getting ready for Christmas dinner" rush this evening. Very relaxed.
Hope everyone has a great holiday!

We are all going up to spend the day together at my daughter's house. I can hardly wait to see the joy and laughter from my grandchildren today. Something that we need right now.
I hope you all have a lovely peaceful and joyful Christmas.
