Christms this year was rough for me. Yes, there are definitely reasons why, but those are not important. Let me just say the following: the best part of Christmas by a wide margin this year was unwrapping the various pieces of the nativity and talking as a family about what they meant to us. Second was church on Christmas; my parents ward did an amazing musical program.
Spending time playing games with my family was also fun. I hadn't played nerts in such a long time. Other than that, Shaine put a huge smile on my face with her Midnight Christmas announcement that I will be aunt Katy to a baby Athey in July 2012. I am grateful for the real reason we celebrate Christmas and to have people in my life who are so caring and fabulous.

I always feel so important when I rate a mention on your illustrious blog. I'll have to work hard to keep that up in the future. :-) Hopefully we can get together sometime this week!
ReplyDeleteIt was a very fun Christmas. One of the best in years, for the reasons you mention and the fact that you were there and participated too! And don't forget the awesome dancing Christmas trees at Beach Blanket Babylon! LOL! I think the Navitity discussion will become a Christmas tradition. It's too awesome not to do it!
