Christmas
came and went
relaxed
mellow
low key
for the most part
~
Except for a
slight malfunction with the plumbing
(so we had no use of water in the front part of the house)
and
NO WAY were we going to call a plumber on Christmas day!
~
no problem
~
we skipped Christmas dinner (and the associated mess and hassle)
and just did snacky finger foods
which was GREAT!
~
We went for a walk on the beach
which was perfect
~
warm sunshine
salty air
tumbling surf
calm baby
happy parents
happy dog!
When we got home
we picked some fresh oranges
added some champagne
and just chilled.
As the day fades into the past
~
I will remember it as a day
where we
~
Chatted, napped, read, nibbled, shared gifts
that were personal, useful, creative
~
A day that was
authentic
uncomplicated
and full of ease (despite the glitch in plans)
~
all because of my darling family
~
Pretty much perfect.
Funny you mention plumbing... we had quite a similar Christmas! But that was mostly fun because of the light character of the people involved and the problem, thankfully got obvious well after we were prepared with our dinner.
