I hope everyone had a nice holiday. I did, but truth be told, I always look forward to the start of a new year and new beginnings.
I was invited to join my friend's Christmas dinner with her family, which I did. There were about 10 adults. I enjoyed it, but after coffee and dessert and just before they were going to start opening presents, I chose to leave; the gift giving is such a family-oriented thing and I didn't want to get in the way of that.
Today we walked friend's dog off-leash in the wood and meadow, which he always relishes. He is a timid dog, but comes alive when he's off the leash, running.
Tomorrow, my cousin will arrive from PA and will stay through Sunday mid-day.
I had a couple of really nice conversations with another cousin in NJ. I saw her for Thanksgiving. It's nice to build ties with family over time.
These are my friend's Christmas cookies:
