Christmas 2011 was not exactly a fabulous celebration of the Lord's birth here in the Loghome Up North. Where last year we had no adoption related holiday unhappiness, this year we were overwhelmed with it. What should be fun filled family times can often cause a lot of grief over abandonment and losses felt by older adopted children, and that is what we had happening. The fireworks were both literal and figurative. We all much perferred these beautiful ones that the Old Guy set off on Christmas Day evening. (Taken with the fabulous camera given us by my dear cyberfriend, Mongoose
:) ) The kids are back to school today and in one hour they will be rushing through the door, hopefully full of tales of a happy day, and thus leaving the trials of the holidays behind them.

Yeah, we had a lot of fireworks here, too. Lots of Holiday Hoo-Hah that just made Christmas a brutally grueling experience. We expected it, but it doesn't make it any easier to live with. Blessings to you and yours for this New year.
