Christmas Eve was a fun-filled family day and Christmas morning has likewise been fun with family.

We did something different for the traditional Christmas Eve brunch by having each family arrive in pajamas. It was something fun and added a new twist to our gathering. The family posed for the annual picture still in their pajamas. After most of the others departed, Chris and I stayed for a while and enjoyed time with Baby Beck, who was fighting a cold he acquired at day care, but he was in a remarkably good mood and enjoyed a late afternoon walk down to the water.

The day was pleasantly warm and the walk to Marley Creek was very nice. The sunset was stunning.

Christmas Day dawned continuing the warmer trend. While not the 80's of the South Carolina beaches, it was still very comfortable and nice. We enjoyed a sumptuous Christmas breakfast of waffles and then descended upon the Christmas tree and the gifts. Santa was very generous. I guess I was a good boy this year, and why he doesn't know won't hurt him!

Now, it is time for games and fun as we relax and enjoy the day.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of those in need and I am keeping our military personnel and civilian first-responders in the forefront of my mind. I know there are so many unsung heroes on the frontlines, whether the front is here in America or in some place around the world. 

May you find peace and joy wherever this Christmas Day finds you.
