It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, or is it?

Merry Christmas!  We hope everyone had a nice holiday.  We canceled our annual Christmas get-together again this year because of Covid within the extended family.  I was sitting on the couch reading a book I received for Christmas and then it hit like a ton of bricks.  I told Aaron I was going to lie down for a bit because I wasn't feeling well.  It was difficult for me to fully relax or sleep well because I knew I had things to do and places to go.  While Aaron went to his sister's house, I stayed home.  I'm so glad I did because I felt worse as the day went on.  I took a test and I was negative.  It wasn't until about a month later we all contracted Covid!  Gah!  It was awful.  I felt like I just got over whatever I had at Christmas.  I am hoping and praying for a better holiday next year.  I am also hoping and praying for no more Covid strains.  This last one was a doozy for a lot of people.  It didn't help that it spread like wildfire.  

I am so thankful I at least got through Christmas morning with the boys before the ick set in.  We all had a great Christmas, even if I wasn't feeling up to par!
