My Christmas Eve

Its hard to have traditions when jobs and schedule mean that either my dear hubby or myself will be working. Most of our traditions are around food when we finally get to celebrate. But even our food is not traditional holiday fare. After Thanksgiving, we're turkeyed out and neither of us care for ham, so our traditional meal is steak.





However my favorite Christmas Eve tradition is a good book, a fire and counting blessings.











Christmas Eve





Snuggled up


by the fire,


rests the dog.





Memories


surround the tree


with a soft glow.





In the late night


shadows,


I sip my tea.





Upstairs,


those I love


most slumber .





With a sigh,


I head for


my bed.





Grateful to God


that those I love


best are home.
