Christmas morning, 2016

Christmas 2016 is going to be very quiet for us – nobody to visit, nobody coming to visit. There will be some phone calls and some email greetings, but mostly it will be a day like any other. But it is Christmas in Florida and it is serene. The picture on the right is a photo I took this morning looking out the side window next to the sofa. I had my first cup of coffee while watching dawn break over the palm trees. Beautiful.

A few hours later, when the dogs decided it was time to rise and pee, I took them for a walk. And found a family, in the RV park for the weekend, opening gifts on the patio. I liked that. No pine tree, but why not have the gifts under a palm tree? I think it is more likely that Christ was born near palm trees than pine trees.

Anyway, I hope your Christmas is as serene as ours.
