Everyone was sad to see the tree come down so soon, but we have to shift gears for the New Years, a new batch of guests, and a wedding this weekend.
Christmas itself had been so much fun. We made gingerbread houses with the grandsons.
On Christmas morning our daughter, with the help of her older brother, hosted a Christmas morning breakfast and tea.
We filled up on savory and sweet crepes, specialty french toast with homemade huckleberry syrup, cinnamon rolls, bacon, and a black tea with bits of candy cane and a candy cane spoon.
Honestly, we didn’t need to eat another thing all day, but we ended with our traditional cheese and meat fondues and gift giving.
I feel refreshed to embrace the New Year. No plans, beyond the wedding, except to work with the horses and maybe visit the barn cats more often. (They’re getting along great now and seem very cozy in the Sanctuary.)
I’ll take advantage of the slower pace to continue playing my instruments: piano, guitar and flute, and maybe even try to overcome my paralyzing stage fright. That would be a worthy endeavor for 2026, since it has plagued me for 46 years.
How about you? Any plans for the New Year?
