With winter coming to northern Illinois a little sooner than I expected everyone is getting into the Christmas and holiday spirit in a big way. Its a busy time of year but also a lot of fun shopping and preparing for good holiday times. My tree is up but yet undecorated and I hosted the first of the season's holiday parties last night that was attended by 20 or so friends. We enjoyed lots of good wine, champagne, and many delicious things to eat.
Last Sunday I was at Marquette visiting Jourdan when we got her new boyfriend Jeff to take our holiday picture. The recent snows in Mke provided a perfect backdrop on a chilly late afternoon. Christmas is always a magical time. When I was a kid it was the lure of Santa, all the presents, decorating the tree, and enjoying family. Many of those same things remain part of each year for me with the added benefits of having wonderful friends and many good memories of past Christmases as well as hopes and wishes for Christmas times to come.
Happy Christmas!
