Christmas Eve was a silent night on Stauffer Avenue. That quiet lingered into our Christmas Day. With little traffic outside and silent wind chimes in the evergreen outside of the house, we slept until nine this morning.
As the day went on there were text messages offering greetings for a very Merry Christmas. It’s always good to have family keep in touch.
We have had several Christmas gatherings and one is still remaining to be enjoyed this coming Sunday. Dennis spent time in the patio porch and I headed to the sewing studio. Nothing urgent going on. I found some favorite CDs and had music on as I whiled away time doing some stitching. Dennis came down and settled in for some computer solitaire in the guise of keeping me company. I can buy that.
When we decided to close down the sewing studio, Dennis fixed us a Fuzzy Naval, orange juice and peach schnapps. Dennis remembered that was a drink my Dad always enjoyed over the Christmas days. A good celebratory Christmas drink. I settled into my favorite chair. By the light of the Christmas tree I deem that this has been a wonderfully silent Christmas Day.
