Christmas this year was pretty subdued. With the death of my grandfather on November 24th, I just wasn't in the mood to celebrate the holiday season. I didn't listen to Christmas music, we got our tree up a couple of weeks later than normal, and we did not decorate the outside of the house like we have in years past.
For the first or second time ever since becoming a parent 22 years ago most of the kids (with the exception of Andy) slept in until 8:30 am. We opened our gifts and then just hung out ate good food and watched some shows. Josh headed up to his girlfriend's house later on in the evening after we finished our sit-down dinner in which everyone partakes in a part of the meal. It was a guilt free day of lounging around which are hard to come by when the constant 'to do' list is on speed-dial in my brain.
I am hoping next Christmas season will be a little more spirited.
