There was no snow. There weren't any fresh cookies baking in the oven. There weren't even any Christmas carols. And yet this was one of the best Christmas's I have ever had!
Living without Jennifer and Christina has been the way of life for the last 5 years or so, what with them off at universities, and so you would think that I would be used to that already. And yet, living this far away has been more difficult than even I could have imagined.
Somehow, knowing that you can drive up (or over) for a weekend makes all the difference in the world. Not that you do it very often ~ but you could if you really wanted to! From Bogota, though, that drive is... well, more difficult!!! Luckily we have had skype, without which this adventure would not have been possible (cue the ad campaign).
And then today, there I was. Together with my daughters again for Christmas. It was a perfect day! We tried all of the new fruits here in Colombia ~ some we loved, others... not so much! It was fun to try them together, though, and share stories.
Christmas was different this year, because we didn't have our traditional decorations and other accouterments, but it was wonderful nonetheless!
Merry Christmas to All!!
