I had a very lovely first married Christmas with my husband!
On Christmas Eve, we went to our church’s service. It was short and lovely and filled with singing. We went home and ate dinner and wrapped presents for family, and exchanged Christmas ornaments. This is our new tradition. Husband got a Star Wars ornament from Hallmark, and I got a vintage duck in a marching band uniform, playing the trumpet! We decorated gingerbread and sugar cookies with lots of candies and icings and showed our creative skills all over the place. Then, we crashed.
We woke up pretty late on Christmas Day (sacrilege!) and opened presents. I got a beautiful handmade scarf and set of earrings from Etsy. I got husband his very first adult gift of an electric razor and trimmer. Then we visited the in-laws, had dinner and exchanged gifts there. Then, we crashed. (I’m beginning to notice a pattern.)
It was a lovely, gluttonous, few days and praise God for glorifying Him by celebrating our blessings!
