Our Christmas was teeny. There was an advent calendar, some stockings, and the "tree" was a five-inch-tall manzanita twig stuck in a vase and draped with ribbons. I spent around $30 on each kid: an owl wallet stuffed with local coffee cards for Daney, a duffel bag with fishing lures in it for Dominic, and a fire fighter Lego bin with a Star Wars action figure for Rees. My aunt Mary had sent the kids lovely things: books, music, Legoes, hiking boots.
After everything was all opened, we went on a walk and played games.
That was Tuesday. So Christmas is over.
But.
Tonight we'll be at my dad's near Sacramento. And the family party there, well, it's hard to describe.
All I can say is that I spent more on the feathers for it than on the gifts I bought for my babies.
Stay tuned.
And have yourself the most joyful holiday!
