Christmas dinner was most delicious. Daddy, our chef-er, {nicknamed by the kiddos} put together our Christmas dinner of prime rib with horse radish sauce, asparagus, corn, couscous, yorkshire pudding, sourdough rolls, mashed potatoes, gravy, roasted potatoes and martenilli's. We enjoyed it to the fullest and were greatly stuffed. While coordinating it all and timing it correctly, my husband remained amazingly stress free {I'm afraid to think of what I might have been like!} and I was able to spend extra time with my dad who is not doing very well with his cancer.
Now that we've already put all the decorations away and have taken down the tree-- they've been up for over a month and I needed to reclaim some much needed space-- I am a little sad that it couldn't last a bit longer. I suppose that's what causes us to cherish those moments; they don't happen every day and perhaps far fewer than we would like. But I do know this: Christmas is the Most Wonderful Time of the Year for one reason only:
Jesus.
