This Christmas was very different that others. We have not been to church in weeks. Jeff finished his round of covid. Me, Johanna, and Jonathan have also been confirmed positive for covid. No visiting relatives. We did exchange gifts with a very quick drop off/pick up at our door… but no coming in and visiting. Great social distancing during the gift exchange. This will be a very quiet Christmas at home. We focused on the joy of Christmas and working together to get things done. Christ is the Joyful reason for Christmas.
Mama had a lot of helpers this year…. Amazon, Walmart (delivery and pick up), kids wrapping each other’s gifts, kids helping greatly with cooking, baking, and cleaning. This year may be very different from other years, but it all worked out. We focused on the joy of Christmas and working together…
… not what is missing, but what we have.
