I count myself very lucky. For the first time, all of my living children are home foro Christmas, including two grandchildren.

In addition, my youngest, whom you all know by my posts, still believes in Santa. She is nearly 20, but looks like a preteen, and will probably believe forever. What a miracle.

Christmas is the biggest thing at our house...and has always been. Santa always comes, and even surprises me after all of these years.

If only the magic lasted all year, but I will be grateful for these few days.
