Love came down at Christmas

The number of stockings on the mantle is more significant than where we celebrate Christmas.

Last year, Katie, Jeff and I travelled home to Hinsdale. It was wonderful to be there, but I missed being with Nick and Lizzy.

I admit there were moments this year when I longed to be snowed in on Meadowbrook Lane.

Then we went to church on Christmas Eve, sang  the same familiar carols and lit candles in the darkness. Come Light of the World Jesus!

Christmas morning dawned under a bright blue sky. The sun glistened on the lake and I knew there was no place I'd rather be than Phoenix, surrounded by the warmth and glow of happy faces.
