Family Christmas

[spally]

My little brother is flying to America this week to follow his new girlfriend home and spend Christmas with her. We had a partial family Christmas celebration to make up for missing Christmas Day with him

I love ticket to ride!

Also: random trivia fact of the season: Christmas hats are supposed to represent the crowns we will be wearing in heaven -- the entire Christmas day is like a foretaste of that great feast to come. True story :)

That is a fantastic story! I am even more excited to wear Christmas hats now!

Yay! And I love your icon. Chosen especially for your comment? Makes you very witty!

Your brother's dating an American? Heh. Hmmm.

[spally]

She's very nice!

How long will your brother be gone for? I always find international relationships to be interesting.

Christmases are generally happy-feely for us too. Families are great things, in so many ways. I think that's why Christmas is my favorite holiday, it brings out all of the good in families.

He'll only be gone for a month but he will miss both Christmas and a family holiday to the beach :(
I'm angling for some good catch up time with him when he comes home!
