Christmas Morning: 2005

"Not a creature was stirring; not even a mouse." It was so quiet. The busy night was over and WE SLEPT IN. When we did get up we opened some presents while listening to Christmas music. It was so peaceful and enjoyable. Mick and I read the blog as our gift to each other. After a few phone calls with family who weren't with us we went to see Mick's mother. Before we left we said a prayer for our family. Usually in the mornings, when we pray, we concentrate on one family in more detail and the rest generally. Today we mentioned them all. Mick said it was generally, but genuinely. Mick's mom didn't want to go out and there were probably no places open, anyway. We looked on the way to buy something for our Christmas feast. We finally stopped at 7-11. We got sandwiches, Fritos and bean dip, pop and donuts. She was very happy with that meal and our company. She couldn't believe how different her son looked now that the Santa virus has worn off. We had a very enjoyable day. We were on vacation!
