Ehlana and Ethan:
Merry Christmas to all of our favorite people – and everyone around the world!
The Christmas Eve service last night was as-special as always; Pastor John’s Christmas message is an annual highlight and unique thanks to our Magi heritage; and we loved the song we shared with the congregation. The rest of our Christmas Eve included some bonus time with Naomi and Aiden at three homes; and then we ended up having a fairly-early night compared to years when we have family at home for the holiday. Ethan and I took our turns putting gifts under the tree first; and then left it to Mom and Dad to do the rest – though a few treats somehow disappeared before they – or Santa – got around to finding the plate and ‘go’ bag for the reindeer treats that we left out with our Elf Pets that were fully-charged up with Christmas magic love.
We got up at normal time; skipped Tai Chi; and have had breakfast and opened our gifts. This update is happening now because we’re going to be busy for the rest of the day. Mom and Dad are hosting our family Christmas dinner, but the Drapers and Seagers are doing the same for their families; and we’re going to be with Aiden and Naomi respectively for all of that fun. Ethan and I will also be with Naomi or Aiden for the night too; and we will not be using our computers for the rest of the day. While we get back to some work and enjoying the festivities; have fun with our final Christmas music videos for this year – and the guessing game that again includes a joint pick. Whether you’re reading this at Christmastime or any other time of the year, we hope that you are having an amazing day; and have Christmas-like love and joy in your heart and life!
