On a crisp night with stars twinkling bright, during this jolly season, a family drove through the decorated streets to celebrate Christmas. The dinner table hosted three brothers and their wives. The fourth brother was unable to attend, so almost all was perfect in the small town. Sounds familiar, right?
Food and drinks were ordered and consumed. Appetites were satisfied and the sextet settled in for coffee and more dialogue. Still sounding like the quintessential family outing? Indeed it was – simple and memorable!
The brothers laughed as they shared stories about growing up, searching through their aunt’s barn, and exploring a nearby creek filled with snakes and salamanders. The three wives giggled along with them, asking questions, prompting more details and further joy felt all around the table. Time was nonexistent…until the friendly waitress peeked her head around a wall. The couples looked around to find they were the only customers left in the eatery. They bid each other farewell, planning to meet again in two days so that all four brothers could turn back the time once again and enjoy the years of the past.
Family – blended by marriages, smiles brightening each face, taking time to enjoy each other’s company. One incredible aspect of this blessed time of the year!
Christmas – noun. 1. a time spent laughing with family: The guests, sitting around a dinner table, were thoroughly enjoying Christmas.
