after the excitement Gifts have been exchanged and opened. Food has been cooked and eaten. Photos both candid and posed have been taken. Stories have been told. Goodbyes and well wishes have been said. Yes, another Christmas has come and gone. For me this was a good holiday with one small exception. My brother is in Iraq so he couldn't be there to experience firsthand any of what I just listed. He called while all of those things were happening, but obviously it isn't quite the same as his being there with the rest of the family. Hopefully that will be corrected next year. On a somewhat related note, he made the announcement that he will be coming home for a few days in February. I suspect that that will be quite the homecoming. |
