This New Year’s Eve, we started a family tradition of a Yule Log celebration. For us, this simply meant sitting by the fire together and talking about our wishes for the new year, then tossing a sprig of holly into the flame. Adam and I had pretty standard wishes about health, happiness, and peace. But Grace was thinking about something else entirely: “I wish that my birthday would come more often.” An interesting thought – and it would probably be easier to achieve than world peace – but for now I think we’ll stick with one birthday a year.
Happy New Year to you all! We wish you a year full of hugs, laughter, peace, good health – and lots of cake and presents!
