I wrote this one last December too. And this post really captures the spirit of that day. I remember the day well, and it was as warm and fuzzy as it sounds. I’m hoping for an equally pleasant holiday this year.
Christmas Day has come and gone. All went well and all were happy. Today is Christmas 2.0 in Meadville with The Hub’s Clan, who have long since become MY clan as well and not just by marriage but by an odd and humorous convergence of the family tree that is difficult to diagram without specialized genealogy software.
Christmas here is fun and laid back. We are awaiting the yearly convergence of the far-flung. I’m currently on my second JD and coke, listening to turkey pop and hiss in the oven. We’ve just finished a multi-generational discussion on the importance of church/state separation and now The Hub is walking dogs in the rain. Grandpa is watching an advance copy of Soderberg’s Che movie on the Mac. Grandma is haggling me about my newfangled Turkey cookin’ skillz. Boys are playing with power tools. All is as it should be, and I am warm and happy.
