There wasn’t any snow.

We didn’t have a roaring fire or stay in mountain ski lodge.

Neither did we drink egg nog,  get to sing carols, dress up fancy or have a huge party.

But, we had the best Christmas, probably in a long time.

We talked, opened gifts, sat together.  I cooked, we ate, we drank.  We played games, we laughed.  No entertaining, no pressure, no clock.

If you happen to wonder next year, what I would like for Christmas… well, simple, all of this please, all over again.
