We all slept in today. The boys didn't wake up until about 11 AM. They came down as they always Christmas, carrying one of the Sam lanterns
We could go time today and just Allstate in the same room… Didn't talk on the phone… Then go outside… Stayed off the computers and just Hung out together. It was really nice. Took a 30 minute break to grab some lunch… But other than that we just sat in the living room. By the time we finished all the Christmas stuff it was almost 5 PM. Really a remarkable day.
We almost didn't even make it outside today. Diane and I did Take the three dogs out for a walk.. (Max and Jac's dog Io is up visiting too) It never made it above 6 degrees today..so the dogs were happy to make it a short walk.
Max cooked dinner for us. It was a feast: chicken fried tofu, collard greens, and the best mashed potatoes I've ever had. It is definitely hippie comfort food.
Afterwards cleaned up a little (very little) and played a new game. It's called Dixit… And it's a hoot.
We finished off our health food kick with homemade funnel cake. We never made it but we improvised and it came out great.
Sitting here at the end of the day… I am grateful for my family and the love I have in my life. I hope it is there for you as well.
Night all, night sam

The wisest person on the Internet. Thanks, John, and peace. Which is, of course, what this day is all about.
