Sleeping in until 8am and lingering in bed with Jon for an hour. The kids are beyond the age of waking us up early on Christmas morning.
Eating eggnog french toast made by Jon. Eating fried left over mashed potatoes & onions & bacon made by Jon. Eating additional bacon on it's own. You can never eat too much bacon.
Getting some surprise presents from Jon, even though we had agreed to not buy each other anything.
Seeing Jon's face when I gave him a surprise present of a black soft thick wool hat that I knit, the kind like he's always wanted. I began it 2 days before Christmas!
Not having to be anywhere else but in our comfy home.
Learning that you can make a squash easy to peel by boiling the whole thing for about 5 minutes. Brilliant! Thanks Google.
Eating a homemade turkey dinner with all four of us sitting at the table at the same time (rare!). It was all sooooo yummy!
Getting EXTRA dark Lindor chocolates from Jon.
Enjoying my kids enjoying their presents. They didn't care that this Christmas's tree was not over-stuffed with presents as in years past.
Ending the evening with Jon opening a bottle of champagne and making a toast to our sweetest Christmas yet.
“He is the happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
