Well it was another Covid Christmas but this time we were at least able to have my sister and family over. Christmas dinner was small as it wasn't my year to have the kids but it never bothers me as I love to have them all for Boxing Day breakfast. That is what I enjoy most. It was a nice dinner and we all enjoyed Mom's good cooking, although with her being 87 we do get in and give her hand.
Because of Covid only me and my family gathered for Boxing Day breakfast as my place is very small. The tree and gifts were waiting for them to arrive but of course we always have breakfast first.
We let the little kids have the dining room table and most of the adults just ate in the livingroom. We really have outgrown my place for family dinners.
Afterwards there is the gift opening which goes really quickly and can get quite loud. We zoomed in my sister and parents so that they could watch the kids open their gifts. They all seemed very happy.
It was a great Christmas and I am so thankful that we could be together. Last year was okay but it was hard, and yes maybe we bent the rules a little but mental health is just as important and physical health! So we shall continue to gather as a family and have fun.
