Katie and I would like to wish all of you, all over the world, a wonderful holiday.  This year it will be just the three of us together, Katie, her Dad and me.  We will enjoy a quiet day, mixed in with a bit of barking at imaginary monsters at the front door.  She’s practicing that now.  Later on I’ll cook a holiday dinner for us and maybe we’ll watch a movie.  Or take a nap.  Simple, quiet ways to spend the one precious day off from work that I have.

Oh wait!  Katie says it’s CHRISTMAS Mama!  We have to have an adventure!  Well.  You never know.  A good romp at the park might fit into our simple family holiday.

And then a nap.
