christmas

Home, family, laughing, singing carols, Lutheran hymns, crown roast and stuffing, hot chocolate and Christmas lights, tree in the avenue, quiet house, childhood bed, silky sheets, absolute silence. Content. Church, singing, Nicene Creed, communion, body and blood, it's still in my head and my heart, call and response, creeds and liturgy, still alive. Daddy's hand in mine, Silent Night in German, candles, warmth, love, happy as I've not been in too long. Gorgeous day, brilliant sunshine, more family, more love, shrimp! Nap with the puppies, love from the husband. Companionship, joy, heaven.

This was a perfect Christmas. I hope yours was as well?
