Christmas was pretty peaceful this year... I thought is might be a bit lonely because it was the first Christmas in quite some time that the kids and I would be spending alone. It turned out that I didn't feel lonely at all. I felt calm, rested, and grateful... The kids and I enjoyed our usual Christmas Eve "Feast" of appetizers, then watched old movies on TV in front of our little fire. Little A practically begged to go to bed early so that Santa would come, and the other two raised no objections to that at all. Santa came and delivered fairly early this year... Not much to put together... thankfully.
Of course, the kids woke up at the crack of dawn on Christmas morning. They were VERY excited by their gifts!!! D spent the entire day building Legos, and the girls spent the entire day playing Barbies and playing with their American Girl dolls... Very few fights between them occurred.... Only one meltdown occurred (and of course that happened during a brief visit by some friends... as usual). All in all it was a very nice holiday. :)
