Finally! Phil just finished painting for the day and everything is set up for a wonderful and RELAXING Christmas Eve together. The "fresh balsam" candle is lit, the Christmas tree lights are on, a yummy assortment of appetizers is cooking in the oven, an apple crisp with vanilla ice cream is prepared for dessert, and our "sleepover" in the living room is set up! We're both sporting some red and green (check out my adorable TREE hairband!) and the NORAD tracker is right beside us so we can keep track of Santa's incredible journey. Two Christmas movies are ready to go - The Holiday and The Family Stone - and.......wait for it......Phil just listened to "The Polar Express" for the first time ever!!! We had to alter the Hoit tradition just a WEE BIT and move the reading to dinner time rather than bedtime..............you never know when this pregnant lady will fall asleep! Alas, the book was enjoyed by the both of us and I know it's a tradition that will continue when Baby P is here :)
Oh how I love Christmas. The house is cozy and I have my best friend here with me. We are so lucky.
Wherever you are, we hope you're keeping safe and happy with friends and family!
Lots of Love,
The Parkinson's
XOXO
