I have:

A ton of blog posts floating in my mind that are not typed out yet (and I despair to think of when I will get down to it)

A sink full of washed but not dried dishes

Tired feet and an achy back from sleeping on the hard mattress in David’s room last night (hubby and I took turns cos he puked)

But… a million and one things to be thankful for this blessed Christmas Eve.

Earlier tonight, we had family cookout – beef burgers with caramelized onions, grilled tomatoes, rocket and some wedges on the side – and watched Fred Claus on the telly. Then we sang a couple of carols together and prayed with David, giving thanks for Baby Jesus who was born so many years ago and loved/loves us so… and then we unwrapped all the presents underneath our tree (90% David’s) and set up his gift from us (a kitchenette) which took almost an hour :b

The perfect Eve.

I’m looking forward to church service tomorrow. To singing familiar Christmas carols and giving and receiving gifts of love. To the family lunch after that, and then a restful afternoon (we hope!).

I wonder how you are celebrating Christmas?

Merry Christmas to one and all, with love.
