I too had a very pleasant Christmas day. Bill gave me an iPod (I feel like I can finally look the 21st century in the face!), and he loves the Frank Lloyd Wright watch I gave him. After a nice breakfast of sourdough pancakes and bacon, we went over to my sister's. For once, my family managed to overcome our gift giving dyslexia - everyone gave each other gifts they actually liked. As usual, my 2 year old great niece received the biggest haul (my sister's first grand child). Tigers are her favorite animal, and I gave her a stuffed white tiger as big as she is. As the adults all sat around the family room talking, she lay on the floor, cuddling it.
I too feel blessed for my warm and loving family, and for the man who shares my life and loves me as much as I love him.
