It’s the Holiday Season

christmas with the hartnettsFor somebody that boo-hoos about the evils of Christmas, I must admit that I truly enjoyed the Christmas weekend. While I am no fan of the commercialism that absorbs American culture, it sure was fun to see my kids on Christmas morning.

We went ice skating in Syosset on Saturday morning (instead of a much-dreaded trip to Manhattan) and I spent the rest of the day at home with the kids while Lily did some last minute shopping. Before bed, we did the milk and cookies thing for Santa, and Téa read all of us The Night Before Christmas.

Luckily, the kids slept until about 7:30 Sunday morning, and we started with the gifts at about eight. After finishing up at about 9:30, I spent the remainder of the morning assembling various toys, and installing the required batteries. We headed over to Jenn’s at 1:00 and hung out with the family and friends all day. It was a great day, one of the best Christmas-es I have had in a long time.

Hope you had a great holiday too :)
