We weren't born to follow.



We eat lasagna for Christmas dinner. And have birthday cake. We even sing "Happy Birthday Dear Jesus". No candles though, mostly because some of us aren't that prepared.



But we're okay. What we do is small and humble and, hopefully, in praise.

We stay home. It's quiet. We play games and talk. I think. Probably too much.

But it's okay.



Things are good on Christmas day. And things will hopefully continue to get better.

Not perfect. But good.

And that's okay with me. The way we do Christmas will always be okay with me.

Who we are will always be okay with me.




Our family will always be okay with me.

We had lasagna at my house too! With delicious salad and my famous cheese bread. I was so tired of turkey and dressing and green beans and all that stuff, that I wanted somethign GOOD for lunch. We've also done crab legs in the past. Which is awesome if there's a small group ($$$$$), and you can drink a lot of beer with them.
