January 9th

It is the 7th, I know. Well, I checked. January 9th is My oldest sons Birthday. He has reminded me that every year since he was 12, the one thing he asks for is a big family dinner. Which wasn't so tough, when he was 12, and the family did not have quite so many members. Still a wonderful day or two, those far off stay over.
This year Christmas decor was left up (its made me nuts). The family will celebrate Christmas together on the same day. We have incorporated so many careers and people, that it is difficult to all be together during the Holidays, but this works. I don't think which day matters, just to gather and pass out the hugs.
Today is for shopping, prepping, and last minute cleaning. Tomorrow, greeting, prepping, baking, snacking and wine. Then Games and eating, and the opening of presents. Finally, Sunday will bring tears and hugs and long goodbyes..........and a well earned nap.
A day is a day, it is all about what you fill it with thaat makes it wonderful.

Enjoy your weekend with family!

Life is not about weathering the storm - it is about learning to dance in the rain

I don't know the day for Russian Christmas, but I know a carol that has a line where baby Jesus says his Birthday will be the sixth day of January....wonder if it was a Russian carol. Now I shall google. the carol is The Cherry Tree Carol

What a beautiful sunset!
I read somewhere that life does come with trees, sunsets, smiles, and laughter.
Your photo above says so.
Have a pleasant time with your beloved members of the family.

As the weekend is winding down, I hope you had a wonderful time with your family.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
