Well the eve of Christmas is upon us... Mum and I did some baking in preparation for visitors and feasting yesterday. Today I will cook the Turkey and we will have our Christmas dinner this evening as Lindley is going to her boyfriend, Joshua's, home for Christmas Day dinner tomorrow. This is a different celebration this year as it is full of adult children and the need for compromise within a family. Emilie's boyfriend, Derrick, will be over for Christmas Day afternoon and evening with his two year old, Nathaniel. He is such a lovely little boy and it will be fun to hear a child react to Christmas again. :)
The need to compromise on celebration times has prompted Mike and I to think that we will make Yule our large celebration in future years (once we are empty nesters) to allow our children to have their own traditions and celebrations for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, if necessary. Time changes things and the biggest thing as a mother is to embrace the change and realize that it symbols growth and renewed vigour rather than stagnation.
I hope all of you have a restful and loving holiday celebration!
