'Twas the day after Christmas and not a creature was stirring not even a mouse.
The Grandparents were all snug in their bed
With visions of the joy of 8 grandchildren running all over the house dancing through their heads.
It was so quiet in the house that I sprang up to see what was the matter!
Then I realized to my dismay ( and some selfish delight )
that the sleigh had come and taken the parents and kids to return them to their homes.
Then I listened once again
and heard the walls echo with the voices calling our names with such great delight.
What a great Christmas present was given to us by having a houseful for 12 days.
Glad that we still have our son Jamie, daughter-in-law Megan and there two boys here in Abbotsford with us.

No explanations necessary, lol! So glad you have had a wonderful, meaningful Christmastime. We're not used to such intensity of being together anymore - and I, for one, would love to stretch all those visits out over a longer time. Miss mine already as they are on their way home to Lethbridge! Glad we could all be together this first Christmas without Opa, Dad and Hubby! Now forward - one day at a time, sweet Jesus!
