I was just beginning to vacuum when he came home, hoping to catch a nap before we leave. The vacuuming will get done too. This is such a GOOD feeling for me on Christmas Eve, that I've actually accomplished all that I've wanted to!
A Christmas Prayer
Robert Louis Stevenson
Loving Father,
Help us remember the birth of Jesus,
that we may share in the song of the angels,
the gladness of the shepherds,
and worship of the wise men.
Close the door of hate
and open the door of love all over the world.
Let kindness come with every gift
and good desires with every greeting.
Deliver us from evil by the blessing
which Christ brings,
and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.
May the Christmas morning
make us happy to be thy children,
and Christmas evening bring us to our beds
with grateful thoughts,
forgiving and forgiven,
for Jesus' sake. Amen.

Great job! Sounds like you can have a relaxed evening now.
I have one pie to make tonight and I'll make fresh rolls in the morning to bring to my folks for dinner.
Well done, Kristine. It does feel great to be 'ahead' doesn't it.
I do feel it occasionally!
Dorothy
