Christmas Day:

The past few years, Dwayne and I have been alone on Christmas Day.  I thought it would be hard to get used to, but we've really done okay. 
This year, we made it a day of visiting.  We started out by going to visit Mom in the hospital.  We had a nice visit and Mom had several visitors for Christmas.
We then went to visit an old neighbor of Dwayne's, Joe Southard.  But he had been moved to a nursing home the day before.  We went to the nursing home and had a good visit.  Joe and Dwayne talked a lot about the old days of the horse shows in Vichy and other old memories.  You don't have to stay long, it just brightens up their day to get a visitor.
After that, we went to an open house at our dear friend and neighbor, Maxine Workman.  It was a wonderful time!!  Most of her kids and grandkids were there and we had a good time visiting.  So glad we went.
The rest of the day was spent just relaxing and watching TV.

Christmas with family and friends, what more could you ask for.

I am grateful for the birth of our savior and the celebration each year.
