This year we haven’t celebrated Christmas yet. We have had illness, too many volunteer programs to plan and carry out, the death of a close friend and getting her affairs in order. Way too much to get ready to celebrate. Now that things have calmed a little, I a cleaning a terribly neglected house. We will celebrate Christmas with our children and their families either New Years weekend or Epiphany weekend. Maybe I can get the gifts wrapped and tree up by then.
