swestrupI collapsed into sleep last night just after supper. It couldn't have been much later than 7:30 pm. As a result, I was awake at 6:00 am. Naturally my Dad and older brother Marcus were just going to bed then (you can see where I get my night-owl genes from).
So, I've spent the last three hours chatting with my Mom and playing with the cat while everyone else is asleep. Its definitely quality time. I'm feeling very relaxed and loved right now. :-)
Its kind of nice to have a slow day to reconnect with family. We've been separated for far too long and many of the Christmas traditions have lapsed. We no longer remember what we used to do when we got together this time of year, so we're going to have to make up a bunch of new traditions.
This is important as Erika, my little niece, will make a brief showing today with my younger brother Vaughan and his wife Irina. Whatever new traditions we decide upon are going to be the ones that she remembers from her childhood.
And on that note, I should get back to the family.
