Such relief when it’s over.

Ain't that the truth.

I love Christmas. I’ve never been happy that it was over.

I guess every person celebrates it in their own way.

My husband loves the lights, and has to get the outside ones set up right after Thanksgiving. We get all the gifts around for the friends and relatives, and send them off early, so that Christmas itself is OURS. We watched ‘A Christmas Carol’ - the one with George C. Scott - and had pizza tonight, which is our tradition. Now, watching the Christmas Eve service at the National Cathedral.

We live in a largely Hispanic community. As I write, the fireworks are going off all around us (they shoot fireworks for every holiday). Many Hispanic families begin their celebration at midnight tonight, at which time all the family has to be at home, the Baby Jesus is placed in His crib under the tree, the lady of the house finishes up the huge meal and sets it out; and then, celebration and happiness ensue.

Merry Christmas to all.
