Saturday, 24 December 2005 - Quiet Christmas Eve

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for a quiet Christmas Eve.

The turkey's in the oven and should be done within the hour. The homemade cranberry relish is cooling in the freezer while my special yam dish is resting on the stove.The gravy is thickening nicely while the Yukon gold potatoes are boiling away (will become mashed potatoes, shortly).

Some of my favorite movies are on Turner Classic Movies tonight. My husband has stocked the liquor cabinet. With all the hustle and bustle behind us, we're anticipating a quiet evening at home. I'm finally ready to celebrate Christmas and embrace the joys of the season.

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
