the cookies and carrot are ready for santa, ( he is tucked into bed) we sprinkled the oatmeal with glitter for the reindeer, watched our holiday movie ( polar express ) and all the creatures are at rest. i'm enjoying a glass of wine, the tree and the peace of the evening. i read an interesting post today celebrating those who make the season happen. the energy that chooses the gifts, gets them wrapped, bakes the cookies, plans the gatherings, shops for the food..... the magic of the holidays. it's a learned skill.... watching mom plan and make it happen, seeing my generation take the task and make it our own. the traditions have evolved but the constant is the love and care we bring. making it our own, incorporating our talents, honoring the past and putting our own into it.
this year ran with but a few hiccoughs. the unplanned colds, keeping track of dad's well-being, but an easy navigation. we delivered the last gingerbread house....
tomorrow we spend with family... just enjoying each other for the day.
and i'll get that knitting done!
merry holidays.....
