We weren\u2019t dealing with weather or a lot of road construction. It is a long trip but we are here and enjoying it.<\/p>\n<p>I am writing this while we wait for the rest of the gang to show up. Caroline opened a present this morning (a unicorn) and has been playing with it since. Once the others arrive, Caroline gets to open her presents. We will have breakfast and then the adults will open their gifts while drinking our coffee. Breakfast consists of our traditional Eggs Benedict with mimosas. My mom makes a great Hollandaise sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Later the older Davids are off to see Sherlock Holmes. I really wanted to see the Imaginarium of Dr. Parnasus but it is only playing in LA and NY. I might go in to see it once we get back to NY. I really want to see that film. We don\u2019t really have a Caroline film because she has seen <i>Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeekquel<\/i> and <i>The Princess and the Frog<\/i>. But she is happy to spend the time with her grandparents and play with her new toys.<\/p>\n<p>This evening we have a beef tenderloin roast and more cookies. <\/p>\n<p>So we will be well fed today and surrounded by our loving family. <\/p>\n<p>Traditions are important. I sometimes forget how much. There are things I can count on at Christmas Eve and Christmas and these give me comfort. There are things I know I can count on my family to do and those give me comfort and joy.<\/p>\n<p>So Merry Christmas everyone. I hope this season is a good one for you. And Happy Holidays to those who celebrate other holidays at this time of year.  May your time with your loved ones be fun and unstressed.<\/p>\n<p>I am grateful for traditions that give me comfort (and joy).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The drive down was one of our smoother ones.
