The big news of the day is Trevor sent me my Christmas present in the form of a camera. I am sooooo excited. Unfortunately, Chris and the boys woke up and were out the door by 6:30 a.m. and they took my new toy with them. First they are going to work with Daddy and then they are going for a clam dig with Uncle Don. They should have a blast.
Max and I are chillin' at home. He hasn't been feeling well and with his history and Christmas, I don't want to take any chances. That and clam digging sounds cold and wet. No fireplace.
I have been really excited about Christmas this year and surprisingly finding myself caught up in the spirit. I think changing my expectations, and no disasters has really helped. Plus, I have Jonah to teach us all about the meaning of Christmas.
Jonah recently asked Santa for a hamster. Santa promptly sent him a letter, gold envelope and all, telling him of terrible bad weather and the possibility of some children not getting hamsters this year. Jonah sat down and promptly composed this letter with barely a glimpse of disappointment......
Dear Santa,
Thank you for telling me about the Hamster. Christmas is not about hamsters. It is about God's birthday so I am not sad.
Just Harry Potter Five and two sketch pads. Happy Christmas, Love Jonah
Shortly after writing this he met Santa again at Chris's work. He quickly accosted Santa to explain guiltily why he asked for two sketch pads, it wasn't that he was selfish......."I just draw A LOT Santa!" he exclaimed very passionately. I love that kid.
So God Bless and I hope everyone has happy holidays. I hope to post less sporadically in the New Year. My friend had the idea of people commenting on the favorite holiday traditions. I would love to hear yours......

It will make it easier to post pics I'm sure now that you actually have a camera. I love Jonah's Santa letter-- that is something you will need to keep forever.
