Merry Christmas!!!!!!
I know I am a day late for anyone reading in pretty much anywhere else in the world, but for Vancouver I still have an hour and 10 minutes to revel in Christmas jolly-ness, so bear with me ok?
It's been so awesome
I find myself sitting in my little flat with my Christmas lights, tealights, cute little christmas tree and really realising how blessed I am.
Wait, I know I know, CHEESE, but seriously!
Not only did I have two amazing Christmas days with two wonderful beautiful families here in Vancouver, but I got to... (just to name a few....)
1) Eat TURKEY!! (with duck and cornish hen and stuffing and potatoes and gravy and cranberries and.....mmmmmmmmmm........)
2) Be part of the making of a TURDUCKEN! (www.diygourmet.blogspot.com for more details)
3) Opened up my first amazing wonderful Christmas stocking filled with wonderful thoughtful loot
4) Heard from some people from a bunch of places around the world, and shared some wonderful Christmas friendship.
And much more amazing wondefulness that I can't even begin to type out.......
I seriously look back on my post from about a week ago and say again (with a rather different feeling in my heart) how is this my life?
It's been so awesome after some pretty low times here in Vancouver to really feel so welcomed and at home and relaxed, and though I miss some certain not named here individuals very very very (yup you read that right, THREE verys!!!!) much......I can still smile and say I've had an amazing two days of Christmas.
Thank you, all of you, for soooooo much wonderful investment in me. Thankyou for taking care of me.
Happy Birthday Jesus.
Love, hillary
