How wonderful it was to not only be able to spend Thanksgiving with my parents but also Christmas. It was just what the kids, and I, needed. The kids got to experience mom and dad's massive cookie and candy making endeavor that always happens around Christmas. And I was overwhelmed with memories of Christmas past.
Up until their visit, it didn't really feel like Christmas time. There were no parties to go to, no one to exchange gifts with. It was different. We are starting to get to know our neighbors, but not enough to share the Christmas spirit with. And who knows where we will be next year . . . .
