Christmas Day

Our rain finally came to an end, and the sun came out for Christmas day.   
~Todd on Christmas Eve~
Just as we planned, it was a quiet and uneventful day spent at home. No chaos. We have decided that this Christmas may go down as one of our favorites.  
~Gus~
No, it wasn’t a white Christmas, but it was the right Christmas without a doubt for a lot of reasons. One was because we unexpectedly became the recipients of several generous and random acts of kindness that showed the true meaning and spirit of Christmas.
During our day yesterday there were calls, texts and e-mails with family and friends who could not be with us that punctuated our day. Even though we cannot be with everyone we felt connected to them and hope that they felt the same way, too.  .
~I even heard from Cricket's family on Christmas Eve~
With the warm weather we spent some extended time outside with the dogs.
Of course, once Sunny sees the camera, it doesn't matter what the weather is, he wants to go back inside. 
Our day ended enjoying dinner, and afterwards watching our favorite Christmas movies. It made things all that much more peaceful. 
~Ms. Yellow enjoying her day~
I hope that everyone was able to catch up with or spend time with the people who mean the most to you.

  16. That sounds like a wonderful day. We, too, had a peaceful one, mainly because we'd had all the big family parties earlier in the week. We enjoyed relaxing with our pups and my Dad for the day. I'm so happy that you were the recipients of random acts of kindness - you truly deserve it with all the goodness you give to the world.

  22. Scruffy Todd is the best! We had a quiet day,too. We really like the no drama holidays around here. It seems like a lot of Blogville residents had a quiet day as well. We are so glad you had such a lovely day!

  27. 'No chaos'. Presumably with Todd in the house that's a relative statement ?
