After time with Nathan, Rebekah, Ian, and Lilly Ruth, the five of us headed to St. Louis to spend two hours celebrating Christmas with my family. We had a houseful at Mom and Dad’s. We sang carols in two languages, English and American Sign Language. As always, we read the Christmas story in Luke 2. Dad chooses who gets to read it. This year he chose Caleb. Way to go, Dad.
We had a huge meal, loved on each other a lot, and then the five of us headed home. We couldn’t stay longer because John had to work the next day. We arrived home at 9:30 p.m., exhausted and exhilarated. I think we are all content with this year’s Christmas.
Humor helps. Double meaning headlines. Include your children when baking cookies (ouch!). Something went wrong in jet crash, expert says (he’s probably right). Police begin campaign to run down jaywalkers (overreaction?). Safety experts say school bus passengers should be belted (a bit too harsh, don’t you think?).
