The weeks leading up the Christmas holiday are always a flurry. We met the clans back in EC the preceding week and headed to TR for the holiday proper. Sophia made it back to our house for Christmas morning and the Christmas eve traditions of pull tabs, pool and homemade spaghetti. She was awaiting a pcr test results, but the bioassay said negative and the pcr would confirm this in time too. The logistics of getting cut out cookies decorate should get easier as they get older but one 'kid' activity simply replaces another, but in the end we found time to get them cut out an everyone was together for some decorating as well. The gifts were unwrapped and then we proceeded to chill. The week betwen the holiday was a celebration of sloth and glutton as everyone took the idea of hygge recharges to heart. The break seemed short, but well needed by all. With the big season over we change gears to a milder new years. Grace had a friend over to watch movies and continue the RnR vibe.
