This is what Christmas looks like in our family. And from our family to yours, Merry Christmas.

We wish for you, that everyone in your family survives this pandemic and is with you for your holiday celebrations next year. And if it is already too late for that, I hope the coming year brings you peace.

This year was unusual for us, as it was for so many. For the first time in my life, I was not able to see my brother for the holiday season. I also was not able to see my daughter. We are staying separate so everyone stays healthy. Doing our part to stop the corona spread. We did see my mother in law as she is like us and stays home nearly all the time.

I anticipate that next Christmas we will all be together again for the holidays. And what a joyous celebration it will be.

As for this year, at least there were dogs!
