Merry Christmas!
Wishing a very Merry Christmas to those who celebrate and a blessed New Year to all.
DD and BF are still tucked into bed. Hubby and I are listening to peaceful music and reading and writing. Later we'll open presents and eat brunch. This day for us is all about love and family and friends. This evening we'll have a potluck at our house with 3 very good friends.
