Christmas Day and the Day After

Bob and I celebrated Christmas with my brother, Jim, and his family at their house on Christmas Day. It’s a little more than a 2-hour drive to Jim’s house. The weather forecast for Christmas Day was not good. Here, in Warren PA, there was a winter weather advisory for freezing rain until 5:00 PM. Jim lives near Kittanning PA, where there was also a winter weather advisory in effect. The winter weather advisory in Kittanning, though, expired at noon. We left our house late morning, hoping to avoid the wintry weather. We were fortunate not to run into any freezing rain either en route Jim’s house or on our way back home in the evening.

After dinner, Christmas gifts were opened.

I snapped a few family portraits.

We celebrated Christmas with Stacey and her boyfriend, Mike, at our house the day after Christmas.

We enjoyed good food and the wonderful company of family and friends both days. Time spent with family and friends during the holidays is definitely time well spent. Bob and I hope all of our family members and friends, near and far, enjoyed Christmas as much as we did.

    From the pictures it looks like a great time was had by all! Christmas for us was on Christmas Eve so the actual day of Christmas was quiet.

    Nothing better than fun, food and fellowship! Except, of course, the sparkle in the eyes of a child as they open a package containing that very special something!
