We had the most wonderful Christmas season! We were so blessed to be able to spend time with family and friends. We started new traditions while keeping the old ones - we went on a Victorian home tour, walked in the Fountain City Christmas Parade with Bailey's Brownie Troop, went to the Downtown Christmas parade (and almost froze to death!!), had a cookout with friends on an especially warm (then rainy!) night, went to church on Christmas Eve with Grammy & Pops at our church where Bailey was an angel in the nativity pageant, enjoyed a delicious lunch with Chris's family in Crab Orchard, TN, delivered cookies on Christmas Eve to people who had to work, enjoyed a country Christmas at Dollywood, bought a cool bicycle and helmet for a boy who was part of the Angel Tree program, enjoyed another delicious meal with our Sunday School class at Calhoun's, and many, many other fun and special activities.
We are so thankful that our families are healthy this year and so are we. Chris's work hours are crazy but we are so thankful for his job. We made an extra special effort this year to keep Christ in Christmas, to not get caught up in the craziness that the season often brings and the little details that are often so unimportant. And, as I'm writing this on Christmas night, feeling calm and serene, I think our Christmas was as close to perfect as it could possibly be.
Love and blessings in the new year,
Angela
