Even COVID can't stop Christmas, and all the joy that comes with it.
It was supposed to be our year without my sister and brother-in-law,
But since his parents moved to Germany this past August,
We got them again - and I have no regrets!
Stockings, Breakfast, short break, then Big Presents -
This year it took us until almost 9pm to open them all!
There were breaks in between, and a meal too,
But there is a reason this is my favorite day of the year. <3
The day after my brother-in-law's brother, his wife, and their baby all came.
I had heard things about them previously, of course,
But it's been wonderful to meet them in person, and getting to know them.
I hope they feel welcome and loved. <3
May this next year be better than this one,
But let's remember all the good times we've had this year too.
