The years pass so quickly. It seesms like only yesterday that I was posting my Yuletime thoughts about peace, salvation, and the Winter-Born King.

Another tree is up in my living room. Six years ago, I would thought of "a tree in my living room" as an event occasioning a call to the insurance company. Another beautiful pile of gifts is below it, keeping the floor from looking too plain next to the decorations that hang in the branches.

A random mix of Trans Siberian Orchestra and The Waitresses plays, another goose roasts slowly in my oven, and another Christmas Eve moves slowly and pleasantly on to Christmas Day. [livejournal.com profile] jadegirl reads Tasha Tudor's Take Joy! and sips tea. The cats have "Lamb and gravy" baby food next to their bowls.

It seems this little family of ours has established a tradition. I'm liking it more every year.

The weather remains crazy. Two years ago, we were snowed in on Christmas Day, spending having been kept from flying out from Dayton by a blizzard that dropped 4 inches of snow from Philly to Boston in 2 hours. (Christmas dinner had been chinese take-out.) Yesterday, it was raining so hard that it looked like curtains of water moving sideways.

The weather outside is dribbling
On sausage rolls I am nibbling...


Happy holidays, all.

"I want to wrap all my moments around you..."

Our life feels like a dream. I never could have imagined anything so wonderful, and it's all here in front of me, with you, in you, in us.

Thank you.

And on this night of our salvation
Where dreams that have been lost
Can there be found
They walked away together
On that Christmas Eve
While all that night
All that night
The snow came down


What could I add to what you say?

Thank you. Your posts were exactly what I needed to read. And may you rejoice in the year's rebirth, and in whatever gods you believe in.

Happy Holidays from the Deep Freeze, where it is currently a whopping ten degrees F... eleven degrees warmer than at this time yesterday. Not including wind chill.

Raining sideways - now that's something I associate more with July 4th than with December 24th. :)

Oh, yes -- and I did think, "Oh, look... they're moving the Hudson."
