Looking at some of my photos of the last two Christmases I spent working abroad in Holland; I thought how nice it will be to be with my family this year. It has been too long. But wait, I was with my family in St. Louis last Christmas. Somehow, I'd managed to wipe that one out. Here we are a year later, struggling to plan things that will make it fun, festive, and in the spirit of the season for us as a family in flux. Talking with Kat on the phone yesterday; it became crystal clear that "no plan" is the "go plan". Too many things are out of our control. I teased that the most we can probably count on is pretzels at the Galleria, and if it snowed, and I had to...I could walk over to their house to celebrate. Another adventure in Christmas lies ahead!
