eat, drink, and be merry



happy christmas eve! 

it seems like it's taken us a while to get here, but the day has finally come...or at least is on its way. 

this season is wonderful. it's a testament to the best of us...a time of year where people look for the best of themselves and the best of others. and a time where we all seem to be hoping for the best of what is to come. peace on earth good will to men. how beautiful is that?

i just got back from christmas eve church service, my favorite part of the holiday. so much spirit and joy, aspiration for the coming day. singing "silent night" by candles is the climax to any good christmas eve. 

tomorrow i look forward to being home with the family, sleeping in a little bit and dressing in green and red and heading off to church again. (you may think we're overdoing it but my mom and brother like contemporary services which was tonight, and tomorrow we will be going to an episcopal church, which is one of my favorites) we'll stop by my aunt's house and i'll eat her cookies (SO GOOD) and i'll be dreading going to work sunday. 

so for the moment, i'll just savour the goodness that is in christmas. the power, the magic, the faith in something more...something bigger
