Merry Christmas Readers!!
It is early on Christmas morning, and I'm sitting at the kitchen table with my mother- and father-in-law at their home in Cypress, Texas. The living room next to us is dark, but the ornament tree is gently glowing in the corner like a modest queen over her servants at hand. Before going to sleep, there were our 12 presents plus about 6 that were there already. Now there must be double that amount! Santa was very generous this year.
Now my father-in-law is making me egg-in-holes for breakfast. It's a slice of English toasting bread with the center cut out and an egg in the middle cooked over easy (Marshall prefers an over-hard egg in his). My mother-in-law is doing her morning crossword in the Sunday newspaper across the table from me. My husband is still asleep. His dad is going to go wake him up when he's through cooking. Then we can all transfer to the living room and open our stockings. This is our Christmas morning thus far. More updates to come!
