12/25/09 Many books and other assorted delights, given awayAnd so, Christmas has reached its inevitable climax, with a flurry of unrestrained downsizing.
We traveled over to my parents' home in Winthrop today to exchange a few gifts and shared Christmas dinner, not that we needed it after last night's feast. Nephew James was the big winner, recipient of many great books that we figured we could always borrow back in the future, if we want.
After we opened the presents and Mom and Dad put the finishing touches on dinner, James curled up with Joanna on the couch and she read through several of the books. James seemed to enjoy himself.
So did the rest of us.
As we draw this holiday to a close, I think of Scrooge's vow: "I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year."
Me, too.
