I think I’m enjoying Christmas more this year than in years past – perhaps because we decided to not get gifts for everyone living in the house together. Perhaps because I know we aren’t going to be traveling, nor are we having guests for the week. Everything can be quiet and low key. And I’m so excited to be singing in the Christmas Eve service where I can sing a really beautiful arrangement of Angels We Have Heard on High which is one of my favorite Christmas songs. We started practicing it last night – that really adds to my holiday spirit.
Jeremy and Elka stopped by our neighborhood coffee place, where everyone knows Jeremy and Elka and Elka always gets the same order – a pup cup of whipped cream. Here she is waiting patiently for her order. Note the name “Pup” on the cup.
Jeremy is speaking my love language these days, slowly getting rid of trash and extra things – cleaning his areas. Swoon. There is a piece of IKEA furniture that he’s had next to his bed for years that have cubbies and each of the cubbies has what I describe as…trash. But I didn’t think that I could ask him to clean it out or anything because…it’s really his space. But yesterday, he moved it into his office, cleared out all the trash and the corner in the bedroom is now blissfully empty. And I kissed him. And then he said…maybe we don’t need these extra bowls in the cabinet…haha.
