Porte Ponderings:

The night we’ve been waiting for. The elves are doing last minute preparations before Santa starts his journey.

Family gatherings ending early enough so Milk and cookies can be put out. Children go to bed in anticipation of what is left during the night.

My fondest memories are of my sisters and I sneaking up at 4AM to see the tree lit and all the presents in anticipation of opening them once Mom and Dad made breakfast. Magic. Excitement.

May the magic of the season continue in your home. ❤

Porte Ponderings:

Tonight we remember the Bethlehem Star guiding the Wise men to the stable where the Baby Jesus was born.

Tomorrow may be the big day for most families, but I have my sons and their families join us tonight. This year instead of a sit down meal we’re having appetizers and finger foods. I was feeling well enough yesterday to bake tarts. Sourdough bread and buns are waiting to go into the oven. Chicken wings and all the wonderful treats prepared by my family. A hectic time with presents only for the children. Two of which are now entering their teenage years. I hope they’ll keep coming to see Grandma and Grandpa on Christmas Eve.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Season’s Greetings to all ❤
