Christmas Morning

By Fawn Weaver on Sunday, December 25, 2011

It’s Christmas morning and I don’t know that anyone will read this blog today other than me so I’ll keep it short.  Yesterday, we celebrated Keith’s 40th birthday and today I woke up so grateful for all that has happened in our lives in the past year.

I didn’t grow up exchanging presents at Christmas time and we’ve continued that tradition in our own family.  But I did grow up being reminded every Christmas of why we are here and how love should precede and dictate every action in our life.

Love is the precise reason this Club was founded and why I continue to make the time to blog no matter how hectic my schedule gets.  This is a place for each of you to share your thoughts, hopes, and love for your husbands.  There are few places where we can feel safe to simply speak kindly and excitedly about love, marriage and our hubbies.  

Know that this will always be a safe place to do that.  So go ahead, brag about the love you have, the wonderful husband you’ve been blessed with and your lovely marriage.  We enjoy hearing about it so brag on, my friend, brag on.  Most of us do this on the Happy Wives Club Facebook page so feel free to join us there, as well.

Question: What do you like to do each year on December 25th?  What are your family traditions?

With love on this beautiful day,

P.S. Here are some pics from the past couple days.  Christmas in Los Angeles sure looks different than most places in the US.

 

Standing in my driveway this morning, this is what it looked like: Clear blue skies, sunny, and our country flag just waiting for a little wind to blow so it can wave to all those who pass by.

Seizing the moment to relax.  Sipping homemade apple cider while feeling the flames of this fire and typing on my computer.  This is a beautiful Christmas morning.

    I imagine I'll be the only one posting on this comment since it's Christmas day and most, as least here in the US, are certainly enjoying time with their families. I just briefly paused to write this post and now I'll be returning to time with the family. Have a Merry Merry Christmas and I look forward to chatting with you in the new year.

    Merry Christmas Fawn and all of the Happy Wives Club! We don't really have any "traditions" per se. If anything the holidays are somewhat of a challenge with a blended family. But, the one absolute constant is that there is love between husband and wife in our home and we recognize and acknowledge where that love comes from. Here's hoping each of you has a wonderfully blessed day!
