Three Days of Christmas

As it has become our custom since getting married, we spent three days celebrating Christmas with different groups of family. The only thing I don't have a picture of is the Christmas Eve service at St. Paul's. It is something I really look forward to for so many reasons. This year's service was even more special because my dear friend Barbara Jackson joined us. Gifts are always fun to receive and are definitely appreciated, but my favorite memories each Christmas are those of family, friends, food, laughter and the small sacred moments where you just step back and think... thanks.
