Christmas

Hi all,

What a crazy year.  We've lost loved ones, and dealt with sickness, injury, and surgery.  We moved into our first house.  We got our first dog.  We got our first real Christmas tree.

Which we guard with cardboard, because of said dog ;)
We've made it though.  This is the first Christmas I will spend in what will be, one hopes, my forever home.  The Cub is at his mother's for the day, but will arrive on Boxing Day, so we end up with two Christmases this year ;)  For all the bad and the good that we experienced this year, we're here, we're blessed, and we are, by and large, both wondrously fortunate, and happy.

From us here in Monkeyland, to all of you out there in the Blogosphere, I wish you a Merry Christmas, and the very best of the season.  May you be happy and healthy, and spend the holidays with those you love.

    A superb tree and a next year that promises to be better, I'm sure!

    Merry Christmas. I should done the same thing with our tree as the almost 20 month old son pulls down the ornaments. 😀

    Looks like you're set for an epic siege scenario there!

      I hadn't thought about it, but you might be on to something there ;)
