For the first time in many years, we were home on Christmas Eve. As the daylight faded, we set a fire and lit the candles. As they do each evening after dinner, the cats and dogs all settled down for their post-dinner-pre-bedtime-nap. Lady graciously shared her dog bed with Shackleton, while Oliver lay in his bed close to the fire. Jim and I sat in our quiet home and enjoyed each others' company, as well as that of the animals. As it became dark, a full moon rose, prompting us to take a walk outside, which we did, admiring the Christmas lights of men and the light from the heavens that illuminated our path.
