It is the last family vacation we will likely have at Christmas... since interns and seminarians are not expected to be around during Christmas week. Plus, The Harpist is in her junior year of High School and will likely want to hang at home and see her friends.

Today I spent cleaning, cooking ('cuz I didn't make a thing for Christmas - we went out for dinner on Christmas Eve and to the in-laws Christmas Day). Also doing laundry, banking, and walking the dogs...a full day.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667178624061122421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-89238097032752863382007-12-26T16:49:00.000-05:002007-12-26T16:49:00.000-05:00I am celebrating Boxing Day back in my little box ...I am celebrating Boxing Day back in my little box at my "day job," but Christmas Eve was a day of many surprises.

Monday is the usual day off, and, as you know, it wasn't. <BR/>I actually had family over between the 5:00 and the 10:00 service, served meatballs, soar cream has browns, white jello, the traditional green bean casserole (with french fried onions), lefse and cookies.<BR/>yesterday, didn't do anything but church and sleep (well, played with the dog.) <BR/>we went out to eat.<BR/>I'll be reading your sermon later, muthah+! watch out!Diane M.

I love this day the most.<BR/><BR/>Today we had a carol service (with scripture readings) at 4pm and then those without families (three men - not necessarily wise, but wonderful) came back to our house for Boxing Day supper. <BR/><BR/>I'd made two savoury pies (one with ham, cheese, tomato and apple; the other with blue cheese, pineapple and tomatoes) - and we had cold ham, mashed potatoes and pickles.<BR/><BR/>Hubby took the dogs for a walk (the African was a little afraid of them) and we sang carols for about 45 mins - then it was time for coffee and sweet things. (c/o MIL and friends)<BR/><BR/>Lots of lively conversation - a lot of fun.<BR/><BR/>When I was a child we saved some gifts for boxing day, but since living in Finland we've done away with this. In Finland Christmas Eve is when presents are traditionally exchanged but we have stockings on Christmas Morning and then open presents from relatives and friends from abroad.seethroughfaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041055467020894063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-47416463443245322112007-12-26T13:57:00.000-05:002007-12-26T13:57:00.000-05:00Well, My first Christmas in my new little parish w...Well, My first Christmas in my new little parish was absolutely magical! The music was good, the kids were wiggly; we had to put chairs in the aisles. And I really felt good about the sermon.
