Christmas Eve, ready or not

 



I made a rum cake this morning; John picked up some beautiful flowers for the table. All stocked up with food for tomorrow and beyond, we're as ready as we can be.

To our family traveling today on snowy roads, Vaya con Dios! And thoughts of peace and love to all our friends and family, especially those who have suffered recent losses.  

“Christmas Eve is my favorite. I think the anticipation is more fun than anything else. I kind of lost that. The idea that something - food, traditions, an arbitrary date on the calendar - can be special because we decide it should be. We make it special. Not just for ourselves, but for others.”
