Oh, we did, family all around, good food, good company, fine games, and no rushing!

I hope that yours was too, and that your brother's three had a wonderful time discovering a new way of experiencing Christmas. The holidays can be such a hard time in the years immediately following a loss. I hope that they were able to get through that aspect gracefully, and with a sense of having gained something along the way too.

And don't think I haven't noticed your recent spate of productivity. I am looking forward with great anticipation to diving into the new fics when I am home and have the time to do so without distractions!
