Our family "Christmas Day" was actually several days after Christmas this year, but the day we chose was sweet and slow. When we are in the village, the feast days are often "transferred" to another, more appropriate day, and we have learned to have the same flexibility with our family gatherings.
Some of us gathered fresh greenery for the mantle, and some of us worked out at the gym, and some of us worked on gingerbread waffles.
We feasted and laughed and enjoyed my great-grandmother's compote dish to hold the fruit salad.
We gave a few gifts,
went for walks around the neighborhood,
and learned new games like Azul. The perfect way to celebrate Jesus's birthday and the gift of family.
