I hope Christmas was peaceful for everyone. Ours was quiet. We have a daughter in California, a son in New York, a son in Kansas, and a son at home ( who had to work today). While peace & quiet is welcomed, I certainly miss the excitement of tearing open stockings & eating up all the Christmas goodies & seeing those messy chocolate faces!!! For those parents that are tired out and happy it’s all over, I say treasure these times because it will be quiet all too soon! Let them be little & gobble up the sugar & be loud & silly! You can clean it all up tomorrow!! Take lots of random pictures – the silliest ones will become your favorite! Get those photos printed & in books to treasure when life becomes quiet again! Grab all the scraps of goodness no matter where Christmas finds you and live your scrap happy life!
