Christmas

Christmas Eve was wonderful. My two oldest and I worked, then we all had a relaxing dinner at my parent's place. Afterwards we returned home and opened all our presents in a peaceful, orderly fashion, then shared oplatki. Alas, a bad cold we'd been fighting hit home overnight, and Christmas day was spent largely asleep in bed: our traditional pancake breakfast, Mass, a movie, all of it had to be canceled. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Boxing Day can be salvaged.
