Christmas Day

Christmas Day has come and gone with all the speed that I knew it would. Christmas has always been pretty low-key in our home. The stockings get sorted through and the contents examined. Some stuff is put aside to be scrutinized later. The kids then take turns opening presents. And later, everyone mellows out while I get an early dinner ready (this year, turkey, etc.)

The best part, like always, is that we could all be together.

As the family gets older I can't help but wonder how many more Christmas's we will share together. Of course being the way I am, I've wondered this for years. At the end of the day, I sit and watch as the kids re-examine their gifts and I wonder where we will all be a year from now; what changes will each of us have gone through?
