Happy Almost New Year

Christmas is a special time in our family. Our daughter Maggie loves decorating the tree, and her brother Robert is now tall enough to decorate the top third — that she and I cannot reach.

The Christmas celebrations in my husband’s family are legendary and fun. They remind me of how blessed I am to be part of a large, loving, generous family. The family party, Christmas Eve at Nanny’s and Christmas Day at his Aunt Gayle and Jimmy’s as well as Christmas day dinner is at our home with my fairy godmother and her family, are the highlights of the season.
