Well, what can I say? The weather is in charge this year and it has made travel rough for those of us who want to go someplace. We have decided not to make the 4 hours trek down to my son's so we will wait until the weather is better. There are many others that are facing the same thing that we are right now. I would rather be safe at home. We can do Christmas a week later.
Everything is ready to go, presents all wrapped and baking all done. This is a special year for me and I am so excited and grateful. I have enjoyed getting ready this year, you see, I just had major surgery and I am doing so good and will not have to have chemo. I am having another treatment called sandostatin injections. I am so grateful to have made it through surgery and also for the outcome. Everyday has been Christmas to me since November 17.
So my husband and I will be at home with the two dogs, relaxing and enjoying each others company. Even though we won't be with the children our hearts are connected and we will talk often on the cell phone. Our day will come when we can get there.
We must not forget the real reason for Christmas, the birth of baby Jesus. He is the reason for the season.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and may 2010 be the best ever!

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! We had planned to trek to Minnesota tomorrow, but have also decided to stay home, warm and cozy, and make the trip next weekend. Be warm and safe!

You made the right choice, to not make the drive. The weather was so unpredictable~ Winter Storm warning on the day it rained- Winter Weather Advisory, the day we had snow and blowing snow. It's Iowa, you gotta love it! Baby Jesus is the reason for the season and we need to remember to Celebrate all year long! A healthy 2010 to you and your family!
