Our table, like yours was festive looking but very small! No problem trying to cram food in the cooker/ fridge/ freezer. Everything was easy to plan and to do. But next year, bring on the chaos, I missed it!<br />We have felt very much in reflective mood this season but all my family are well so I've much to be thankful for.

Things will get better, I do know that, but it will be a while longer. We need to muster our patience and count our blessings. That is all I know to do. <br /><br />It has been quiet here, I have read and read and read! I do enjoy it though, and at this time of year, I never feel guilty about it. Like I should be doing something else.<br /><br />Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year!

We were blessed to have our family with us; I can only imagine how hard it was to be apart from yours, especially your grandchildren. Children make Christmas truly magical.<br /><br />Since our daughter and her boyfriend left, it has been catch-up mode - cleaning, laundry - all that stuff that was put to the side during their visit. It has caught me a bit off-guard that tomorrow is New Year's Eve! We won't do anything special since we are working at the ski resort on New Year's Day and have to be up early!

I guess it is a rule of do as I say and not as I do, as they chose to break the lockdown rules for their own self indulgence and have big gatherings, visit another province, and leave the country for a vacation.

I sure appreciate your husband and the work he does. I've been very disappointed to see so many people go about the holiday as if nothing has changed. Oh yes...I said, don't get me started. But I am very thankful for all of those that have worked to develop the vaccine and for all the front line workers. I'm spending the week cleaning and hiking. I need to get a project started too. The Christmas quilt is a wonderful idea! Happy new year!

Glad you can at least meet up with your families outside. We were lucky to have an allowed two days over Christmas to spend with ours. We can now only meet outside like you.
