Merry Christmas (a day or two after)

To all who I have not spoken with this week... Merry Christmas a little late. I arrived back in Augusta last night from Columbus, GA where I spent Christmas with my family. It was a different Christmas for us, now that we have two young kids (my brother's) in the family, but different in a good way. My nephew was old enough this year to understand that we were celebrating Jesus's birthday and also to understand the idea of gifts. As of now, he can grasp the idea of receiving gifts but not giving them. One day he will discover the joy of giving, but that's a bit much to expect of a two year old. I think the fact that we all got to sing happy birthday to Jesus with little Ben leading the moment was a good enough gift for us.
