Many things have changed over the 64+ years of Christmas’s. Starting with all of the years as a child , then young adult, to a spouse, a parent of 1, then larger family, becoming a grandparent. Each chapter added a new level of adventure and excitement. You go from not being able to sleep the night before, to early wake up calls from kids, to now being able to sleep in as late as you want (unless you have an early Christmas Lunch to make ). I my case this morning I got the first wake up call from my youngest daughter Lizzie that she was going to make some Orange Danishes so if I wanted any I should wake up. Then in next moment I decided that it was truly time to rise I got my daily face washing from my puppy Daisy who just cant wait for signs of movement from me every morning. Now as I sit here at my computer looking out our windows and seeing no snow, sunshine, temps heading into the high 30s-low 40s for the day I do think about times past with snow drifts as high as the telephone polls, and piles in the back yard high enough to go sledding and plastic tobogganing that seem so long ago yet so close! Merry Christmas all, and happy New Year…
