Merry Christmas!
Our home is quiet after the bustle of getting home from Midnight Mass. Everyone else is asleep and I am savoring the last night of the anticipatory silence that comes before Christmas morning breaks with a flurry.
We spent the afternoon and evening at the farm. It was so nice to be there with all of our girls, their boyfriends and my sister and brother-in-law. Kevin napped off and on through the day; he wanted to be certain to have the energy to go to Midnight Mass tonight.
Even with the sadness of goodbyes after Mass, it was wonderful to be at St. Tom's tonight.
And all three girls, as well as the boyfriends, went with us. We filled an entire pew. We were quite a crew; our mix of cradle Catholic, convert Catholics, non-practicing Catholics, a fledgling Buddhist, a Hindi and an Undecided. We were normal.
The last 5 months have left me with a wonderful appreciation of normal.
