Take 15 people who are no more or less alike than the crayons in a box. Add too much food, extended anticipation by the children, an exhausted me (mom and gma), one Christmas tree with presents surrounding it (the amount led Uni to tell me I'm out of control), dishes of chocolates sitting around, and you have chaos. Mostly good. Happy children. Happy grandchildren. A few short minutes of feeling like I've pulled off another celebration that made my babies happy, and then it's over. It becomes more difficult each year but each year is a small victory that there was once again a magical day here with Grandma. Who knows what next year will bring but if I don't run away to a tropical island the first of December next year, I hope to be blessed with Christmas Chaos again in 2012. May you have a little of your own. Merry Christmas to my Yakkstr friends. May you still feel the joy of the season.
Lovely post. Compliments of the season to you, Woman and all at home,
