Christmassing!

 

You’ve been so kind to listen to all my stories about our trip, and I thank you for it. I told someone the other day that while I loved being gone, one of my favorite things about being home is the chance to sit by my lovely lights again. Our Airbnb didn’t have a tree this time (sometimes they do!) and I did miss the soft glow of the lights.

            We’ve also had some Christmas fun since returning home from our trip.

            Ryan’s work had an open house, and we were able to spend an evening touring the whole place, enjoying the beautifully decorated trees (themed by different organizations and businesses). I LOVED the one with a photo theme. It was so fun to see the residents enjoying the memories as they looked at the pictures.

            They had snacks and live music and a wreath auction, too! It was such a fun night.

            Then last week, I traveled to Columbus for a teambuilding day with my work. We had an ugly sweater contest and a “gingerbread” nativity contest. It was a lot of fun to get to hang out with my coworkers in person!

            And then, over the weekend, we hosted our small group for dinner and went to see two of them in A Christmas Story – the musical version. I confess to not loving the movie, but the musical version was really good. Highly recommend!

(Borrowed those last two from Facebook)

            Looking forward to some more Christmas fun over the next few days. 😊
