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.

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. :)
