Another season is coming to a close. Like the Spirit of Christmas Present, our time here has grown short. We will be around Merry & Bright until the New Year, with a few more posts to wrap up 2025, and then look forward to the unveiling of the new calendar, a fresh start, and revived energy for 2026.
Here in Kansas City, Christmas Eve started quite foggy, and the fog will return tonight, making Rudolph a necessity for travels. Our weather is quite unseasonable at present. Yesterday, Dec 23, I was able to don shorts and a long-sleeved T-Shirt and take a 10-mile e-bike ride. Today, temperatures are to reach the low to mid 60s. Christmas Day is also to be in the mid-60s, nearing but likely not breaking the record of 67. No White Christmas here this year.
Today began with a Christmas Eve brunch at our son's house, where the siblings (our children) did their gift exchange, and the aunts & uncles bestowed many presents to our granddaughter. This afternoon we'll attend an early Mass, find dinner afterward (we're hoping our favorite Mexican restaurant is open), and then retire back home for a relaxing evening with Christmas movies, and perhaps a smidgen of Drambuie and scotch.
Tomorrow our older son & family will visit us in the morning before heading to California for a week, then the rest of the children & spouses/boyfriends will join us in the afternoon for presents and dinner. It should be a fine day.
Music, merriment, joy, food, and drink will fill the house on Christmas Day!
To all of you, have a very happy and safe holiday! Merry Christmas!
