The kids are eagerly awaiting Santa, but have been happy to keep themselves occupied today with the LEGO Star Wars Advent calendar.
Jon and I did a little last-minute shopping (for weekend food/party supplies, mostly). I did a bit of final decorating today too, mainly putting out the manger scene, candles, and some flowers. I had Annabel arrange the creche, and Santa ended up joining the mix. Which is perfect, really.
Now for the traditional Christmas Eve homemade pizza, and the traditional Skyping of the relatives! Especially my mom, who's stuck at home tonight with a broken arm--if you have extra good wishes to send her way, please do. I wish we could zap ourselves to her house to provide comfort and joy.
Maybe Beaker can help:
Since zapping is not yet a valid form of travel, we have to wish everyone--from Florida to Washington--a virtual Merry Christmas from Michigan. Where there is no snow, for the first time that I can remember. And I am not complaining.
