Post-Merry Christmas Greetings!

It's always so hard when Christmas is over....    We spend at least the month of December, perhaps even earlier, around Thanksgiving, beginning the preparations and talk about Christmas; shows are on TV; decorations are put up; plans are being made; gifts being purchased or made, etc etc etc.  The colors, the sights, the sounds...they are all so happy...so festive.  It's hard now to not be a little sad or melancholy that the festivities are technically...over....

We've had a good time, however.  At least since we've pushed the sickies out of our house, however.  I was sick with the stomach bug last weekend, and then poor Allison came down with it Tuesday. Thankfully Bruce did not come down with it (crossing fingers that it still doesn't catch up with him at this later date).

We spent Christmas Eve Day here at home, just Allison and myself.  Bruce had to run out west to one of the other radio stations for some emergency maintenance.  Then Sunday we were able to travel down to my sister Amy's house with all the other fam members.  That was really nice.   Then today we drove a total of just a couple of blocks to Bruce's folks' house for festivities with his side of the family.  We had very nice times all around. So very thankful for family close or fairly close by to gather with.
