Our home was really rather quiet as we enjoyed a peaceful Christmas morning knowing that our children and grandchildren were all waking up to peace, health, and general well being. We are so thankful for that. There weren't a lot of surprises around our tree since we have finally found the key to getting each other the presents that most please is to shop together for those presents. And the main presents we got each other were iPod MP3 players. I must admit that I surprised Carolyn a little. I found a couple of inexpensive iPod accessories (docking speakers and armband case) that I wanted her to try out before I got them for myself. And she surprised me with a full set of DVDs for the Seinfeld series, all 32 disks.
I heard a man recently say that optimists feel the future will be gentler and kinder to the less fortunate while pessimists feel the future will be much like the present but with lots more electronic devices. We certainly saw that with our iPods as well as a digital photo frame, a digital photo keychain, and an LED "super light". But we also enjoyed an old fashioned set of Corelle dishes, perpetual calendar, and some unique and beautiful jewelry for Carolyn.
Later we dropped in on Ed and Tiffany to share the joy and excitement of Tim and Jake and then going to a Chinese buffet restaurant which has become traditional for us. We're indeed grateful for so many blessings in this world as well as strength to help us cope with the less pleasant things that life throws our way.
We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
