Christmas Eve 2021

It's Christmas Eve once again.  It doesn't feel like it though.  For one thing, the temp outside is in the upper 50's.  For another thing, Catherine is working today.  She'll be off at 3:00 and should be able to make it to church with the family at 3:30.  I'm not going to church though.  I'm traveling to Indianapolis with our best friend in order to pick up their oldest who is flying in from California, if his flight out of Vegas can ever get in the air.  It's scheduled to be an hour late, but still in time for our families to join together for dinner this evening.  When I was a kid, Christmas Eve was always when we got together with my dad's family and did our Christmas.  We had a 1:00 meal, and spent the afternoon together.  Those are my memories of childhood.  Because we weren't a religious family, we rarely worried about church, although I enjoyed going as I got older, and I enjoy the tradition of attending with my family now.  This year though, it's all a little annoying that our church won't "count" at all this weekend, so I'm making the trip west to the airport.

He is in the air...looking forward to a lovely dinner with our dear friends!
