No one was cooking. No one was shopping. No last minute wrapping. And no one was fooling around with Christmas presents. No one was taking something somewhere or trying to get somewhere on time.
We all just were.
Every single one of us sitting in the den. Nothing planned. No movie. No TV show. Not even a board game.
We all just sat and breathed, and relaxed, and talked, and laughed. That's it. But hours of it. Uninterrupted. And it was wonderful.
We were silly, even playing songs on my iPhone and seeing who could guess the songs first. And songs all have stories and memories and so on...
And now, everyone has gone to bed because they have to drive home tomorrow.
But one thing is for sure. Next Christmas there will be less doing and more being.
Because tonight is what Christmas with family should be like.
Happy New Year Everyone!
