Christmas Time Is Here. . .

Traditionally, Christmas eve finds our family opening homemade presents from each other. This year was no exception. It was exciting to see the variety of items that everyone had been crafting. One of the larger gifts was an aviary that Trey crafted for Rachel from native oak. We put Mr. Bo-Jangles in it that night and he seemed to simply love it.
"The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. . . " as we proceeded to retire and dream of sugar plums.
