After almost six weeks away, we are home for Christmas! And talk about hitting the ground running! As soon as I walked through the door on Friday afternoon, I started addressing Christmas cards. (Crossing my fingers they all arrive in time). Two of my closest friends came by and brought appetizers and conversation. Thank you Kristyn and Katie for a lovely homecoming! By Friday night the house was completely decorated sans tree. Yesterday, the tree was trimmed and the last card mailed. Now for the shopping. . .
Even though I have been lamenting about my expedited Christmas season (I usually have the tree up and house decorated the day after Thanksgiving), it feels good to just appreciate the little things I have missed:
My bed and my pillows. . .
my bathtub. . .
last, but definitely not least, my love affair with my coffee machine
What I missed, really isn't an address, a floor plan, square footage, furniture or things. It is a feeling; a feeling of HOME. It's definitely not a coincidence that the one Christmas song I can't get out of my head this season is good ole' Bing Crosby's rendition of "I'll Be Home for Christmas." Fortunately for me, it's not just in my dreams.

Relax, refresh, and rejuvinate. In the future you will be able to look back and say that you did the BEST for your son. Christmas blessings to you and your family.
