My Christmas wish for you, dear Reader, is that you are reading this Christmas post (prepared and scheduled a day or two before Christmas day) on December 26 or later. If you celebrate Christmas at all, I hope you’re too busy enjoying the day to be on line, reading our blog!
A white Christmas! Not just a skiff of snow, but about a foot of the real thing. We’ve had snow over much of the last week. As is to be expected, there’s some rain mixed in, and forecast for more of the same through Christmas afternoon, but it is a White Christmas, “just like the ones we used to know.” Further, this Christmas will be just us two, Michelle and I, as Aly will spend the season with her cousins down south.
Our baby girl came to us after 10 years of marriage. We spent some of those Christmases with family, when we either traveled to be with them, or they traveled to be with us. But I pursued a professional radio career, a profession not known for its generous time off; most years proved difficult to get away at Christmas time. Most of our Christmas celebrations in those years involved just the two of us.
