Christmas 7: Lazy Day

The following morning we woke up slow 

until it was time for d&k&a to be on their way.

And then?

We sat around in cozy pants.

I read my Christmas book.
[Every Christmas, it seems I read an entire book in one day...]

My mother watched football.

[Telling the team her thoughts at each play along the way...]

My father....I don't even know where he was.

But then,

 a fire and games.

First, this beautiful one,

 bird bingo,

 given to Dad by me.

And then, round after round of Dutch Blitz,

[also given by me...]

until we were ready to just sit before the fire again.

I knit. My mother read.

My father watched tv.

A lovely long and lazy day.
