Christmas - Day 9

Today was an almost perfect day. The almost was courtesy of the icky weather - but the rest of the day was great. I woke up knowing that we were supposed to be under an "icky weather advisory" - so I figured my plan to attend my own church would be thwarted. I enjoyed a leisurely morning of staring at the Christmas lights and listening to my Dad's radio program. (I have to pay extra close attention in December so I can know when he's pulled out the ultra-humiliating recording of me reciting Luke 2 as a somewhat congested 3 or 4 year old. Fortunately today was not that day.)

At the last minute I remembered this town does possess churches closer to me than the one I normally attend and icky weather advisory or not, I could make it to church somewhere. So I pulled myself together and attended a very nice morning service - even if it wasn't home.

The rest of the day was sort of a hodge-podge Christmas. Snippets of Christmas movies on TV (though I do have to admit I was suckered in by Sleepless in Seattle) and the last of the wrapping that I can do without snagging some boxes from somewhere. I enjoyed a couple pieces of Mom's Christmas candy and ended with a church service at my very own church tonight. Despite my concern that instrumental music would put me to sleep, the violinists who provided our music this evening were not only talented, but they were not snooze-inducing. A great end to an almost perfect day.
