I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season, from Thanksgiving to the upcoming Christmas day and into the New Year! 2026… already… Can you believe it?

Just the other day, my child had his first school event – ever! Him and all the other preschoolers sang Christmas songs for all the parents. It was as cute and chaotic as you can imagine :-]

Then we all had brunch. Or should I say, the adults had brunch and the picky eaters hardly ate anything. Haha

It’s been a warm winter for us. We’ve had two days of snow, earlier this month, and that’s about it. That’s very unusual for where we live. Hopefully the snow will come soon!

We’ve decided to let our Christmas be relaxed. We’ll be spending time at home. No traveling this year, and our family can’t come see us either this year (due to health reasons, unfortunately). Hopefully, it will be a pretty good, ordinary Christmas day.

We actually didn’t purchase a lot of presents this year, either. There’s a sort of magic about Christmas that no amount of gifts, traveling, or busyness can buy.

We’ll be exchanging small gifts. We’re just so grateful for all of our blessings, year-round. I know, it sounds corny and cliche, but it’s so true :-]

If I don’t see you again before the new year…

MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄

Take care,
Dear Quiet
