Merry Christmas and Happy December 23

It is Christmas Eve Eve, the day before the day before!  Christmas Eve is a favorite day for many in my family so it makes sense that this day is good too! Dear friends host an amazing party that sadly is on hold due to blasted COVID, we understand and wish the best to all those infected. We'll embrace the time for wrapping and prep and family dinner.  I'll log off and take the break from work and be deeply in the Newark-Granville Road moments!

Family dinner on Newark-Granville Road is back in the dining room and such a treat with all the kids home! Monday night we had a plus one and just lingered, then moved to the kitchen for jeopardy (recorded) with Clare baking cookies. Yes, life on Newark-Granville Road is special and blessed.  This makes the stress that December brings all okay.

Work is ending strong and I've spent the week in the office while Joe takes on work and a house project: Attic Purge! See photo. I put this on social media to keep things real:


We've had fun looking at old sports shirts, tried to share Granville Music shirts- they switched the color, and even found missing beloved items.  I was worried about shopping for an upcoming trip, but voila the bathing suits were found! It is long overdue and I'm grateful for Joe and the kid's work.

The tree is beautiful and I'll return to sitting there tonight, Joe promised. I'm glad he didn't move to the dining room table for sorting.  Tomorrow we'll ice skate- Easton Chiller 11:30-1 Public Skate- join us, tradition thanks to dear friends!  We'll also participate in two services at church- FPC Granville- join us for one: https://www.granpres.org/calendar or follow us GranPres on social media! 4:30 is the Children's service and 6:30 is the service with Angel Choir - Sally is singing!  It will be a lovely Christmas Eve 2021.  We'll celebrate Christmas with the Leithausers, it will be good to be together.

Leithauser December cards are New Year Cards. That will probably be my next post! This post was just my way of saying THANK YOU, hang in there, embrace the mystery of the season and all the emotions it brings that is what we're doing in our Life on Newark-Granville Road.
