Christmas Day


The beauty of Christmas Day at home is that it could be anywhere. We just happen to be in a small apartment in Fort Worth Texas, but we have a tree, presents, a fire, food and each other. And we can telephone our families.Really, though, Gwenny's sixth Christmas was the best, full of those simple pleasures that make memories. To me, those memories were always associated with smells, flavors and sounds--fresh pine, peppermint, gingerbread, cloves, tangerines, egg nog, Ave Maria, Adeste Fidelis--and just having time to goof off and make stuff. I mean, what eles is there?

True Believer

Gwendolen explained how there's one Santa for each state. Duh. One Santa couldn't possibly get to everyone in a single night.

Thanksgiving

We are thankful to be in Fort Worth. We are thankful to have jobs, health, groceries and each other.
But we miss our friends and family, especially the Bruce Clan, who are now a 20-hour drive from us. This is what Thanksgiving Dinner for three looks like.
