I will miss my grandchildren and children but realize that this is just one year and I am thankful that we will all be safer this way.

We are going to dress up and play music that we love. Plus we are texting with relations to show phone pics of what our table and food look like.

I am thankful for my pastor and his wife, who are going to visit family in the same town as my sister lives. They are taking my Christmas presents to their in-laws house where my sister will pick it up, saving me a lot on postage and it has gifts to unwrap with things to do before Christmas. It all got arranged today and I will take it to them bright and early tomorrow. My sister has really been struggling and I thought early gifts would bring some joy. They were happy to do it!
