Christmas arrived on the same day it does every year at the Atkins house. This year was pretty low-key during the holidays. We didn’t over do it with gifts or obligations to do tons of activities. It was just a peaceful holiday – as it should be.
Our family spent Christmas Eve with Katie’s parents and her brother, Andy, who was in town from D.C. We had a very tasty dinner and then played cards until late in the evening. Just as we do every year, we read the story of the birth of Christ from a 19th century Bible Katie’s dad obtained in England while serving his mission there (he found the Bible at an antique shop and traded it for a copy of the Book of Mormon.)
After dreaming of sugarplum fairies, we woke up Christmas Day, opened gifts and had a delicious breakfast. It was a very needed break from the daily hustle and bustle of our regular days.
