I didn't have time to write up a Christmas post soon enough this year, so this won't be as detailed. However my favorite parts of Christmas this year included the leisurely muffin and bacon breakfast with Don, Merlene, and the girls (who both really liked the muffins),
the potato hash and cinnamon rolls at Mom's (courtesy mostly of Denny), playing a little bit of 5 Crowns with the siblings and Mom, and all the Jackson Christmas traditions that night. Specifically it was fun/funny watching Merlene read the Christmas Story to a chaotic group of grandkids who kept getting up and down and going all around as she read.
It was enjoyable reading everyone's letters to us, including Don and Merlene's prayer that 2019 would be less stressful for me (haha) and Aaron and Katie's prayer that I'd get less interruptions at Starbucks (hahaha), and it was fun watching the kids decorate their own Christmas ornaments. Clara was surprisingly focused on coloring every bit of her elf red.
Later when the kids finally (sort of) went to bed, I played a weird wrestling PS4 game with Aaron and Katie and it's hard to explain but we were
crying laughing. The characters are difficult to control and everything seems incompetent and trying to wrestle each other in those circumstances is hilarious. At one point Aaron even just laid down on the floor and surrendered to pure laughter. It was great.
