A change to our Christmas Eve plans

We had to abandon our plans for the day.  We had planned an afternoon Mass and then venturing to our former town for dinner with both families.  I was beginning to be concerned though, about the trip home after dark.  The wind didn't die down until late afternoon.  When Andrew's mother, an extremely devout Catholic, suggested just watching Mass on TV, I knew she had no interest in leaving the house.  Our church decided to cancel services, and I realized that things were just not good out there.  I had planned ahead earlier in the week and made sure to have a frozen lasagna so we could have a decent meal in case we needed to stay in.  While I would have loved to have been with our friends, I can't be sad about a cozy Christmas Eve at home.  We had many of these in years past.  Merry Christmas!
