The holidays have been really nice this year. Although Christmas Day itself was rather quiet we were able to spend time with all three kids over the holidays. We were also able to spend time with our two nieces, and my Sister.

Our dinner turned out to be perfect, an achievement in, and of itself as I cooked the turkey this year.

We managed to make certain everyone in our extended family received a gift without going into debt. And we received many lovely gifts including a surprise homemade pumpkin bread, and chocolate fudge from our neighbours, which was very yummy Christmas morning.

And the greatest blessing of all is that two people who are both very ill, and were not expected to be with us are still here for this holiday, and hopefully much, much longer thanks to great advances in the treatment of cancer.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday, no matter which one you celebrate and all the best to you dear reader in 2009.
