I've had a pretty good Christmas after all.  Better than I expected after learning two weeks ago that I definitely would not get to go down to Southern Oregon to spend Christmas with Ed and his family.

OK.  I can manage two.  One featuring some of the aftermath of today and the past week's prep.  And one symbolizing a vision of next year's Christmas.

Two years ago today we had just taken possession of our own rental home for the first time in over 10 years and we dreamed of getting to decorate and celebrate our first Christmas in our own place since 2000.  But a significant drop in hours for Ed made extras like decorations and special recipe ingredients impossible.  So we pinned our hopes on this year...

But the Lifequake intervened and two weeks from now on January 6th makes my 3 week visit to Mom's officially one year.

Today I'm dreaming of celebrating Christmas with Ed in our own home next year.  One of the things I got from my sister today symbolized that vision:
