Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night!
I hate to say it but I have to go wrap the presents - as soon as I can get this baby to stay asleep! 
Thank you all for being such a blessing! (and to dearest Alice for starting this merry thread)
Love and prayers,
Kimberlee

Merry Christmas, Everyone!!! What a blessing this board has been.
We're back from midnight mass (the children all slept). And now we are putting the presents under the tree. I'm hoping to be in bed by 3:30.

Happy Christmas to you all
I'm having the quietest Christmas morning ever. Dh and my two older girls have gone to the hospital to visit my mum (she's doing much better, but stuck in hospital due to lack of physiotherapy services over Christmas  )), and I am home with just a sleeping baby and Christmas dinner to cook. I sat down to make the most of the peace and quiet by watching a TV programme about C.S.Lewis I recorded yesterday, only to find I had taped something else by mistake. Darned VCR

My apologies to those who have already read my musings on lists this morning: I feel like I got a real 2X4 up side the head and I have to share...
I want to add my revelation of this morning...
Background: Vince is working thru Christmas (electric company nuclear reactor operator). So Christmas Eve was his 4th out of 5 nights he has to work 12-hour shifts. Tension building, I'm getting frustrated taking kids to Mass, etc. by myself (4 yo boy going bonkers!), trying to make the perfect Christmas, etc. Christmas Eve was the climax... it was just a pure disaster. Jacob's 13 yo hormones and I clashing constantly... I was in tears half the day... most of us were arguing the whole day long and Emma was fussy most the day. I got almost nothing done that I had planned and we ended up having Chinese food after 5 pm Mass. Pathetic...
Last night as I was awake in the wee hours doing all kinds of Christmas magic by myself I was having a big-time pity party, but I was trying to shake it off the whole time, trying to push away the depression that was trying to overtake me. I also was bummed that I didn't get a chance to finish a Christmas arrangement for Hannah's grave. Like "What kind of mother doesn't find something for her baby's grave?!" I finally cried and recovered enough to finish up my chores and get to bed about 2 AM.
So this morning as I brushed my teeth to drink some much-needed coffee, I felt like I got a real kick in the rear from my guardian angel or the Holy Spirit or someone up there. I realized that my temporarily absent husband would be coming home, God-willing, safe and sound. We have a local homeschool family nearby who lost their dad a couple months ago as the mom was expecting her 6th child. I think of the soldiers who have died this year leaving children to spend their first Christmas without their dad, also. In other words, I got a big dose of humble pie. We are abundantly blessed, indeed.
God bless all those families who are missing their loved ones today! :'-)
Merry Christmas to you all! You are all much loved!
Love,
JoAnna in NC

Oh JoAnna...if you only knew how many of those holidays I've had! I hope you get some well deserved rest and are refreshed for the rest of Christmas! Blessings to you and your family.
