It's Christmas!

I woke up this morning, to a beautiful day. The streets are calm, the sky is blue and the air is crisp. It's Christmas.

My day began. I changed my sheets and bathroom set (a ritual my mother and I always share), and watched an episode of my favourite comedy, "Golden Girls". I called my mother, making sure not to call too early, as she would normally spend the entire Christmas Eve cooking. I'm almost sure the beginning of Christmas Day met her in the kitchen. I spoke online to my best friend Kirsten, and then sat infront of my computer, ensuring that I send Christmas greetings to all who read my blog.

As I sit here, I think of my family and friends, and in particular, two friends who lost their mother earlier this year. I send them light and love, and wish for them all the joy the day brings.

Barely into 9:00am, I am eagerly looking forward to the remainder of the day - making breakfast with my hubby, and later, visiting my mother, father, brothers and sister.

What a peaceful feeling today brings. May the love, joy and peace of Christmas, be with you and yours today, and throughout the remainder of the year.
