Sooooo good to be home for Christmas! Nothing makes you appreciate home more than a 6 month adventure in the desert. They say you don't really appreciate something until you loose it and now I know the feeling. Canada is a great country and the perfect spot to call home. The travel home after Dubai was long but still not hard to deal with considering the final destination (hmm - that thought should be applied to life too). I was greeted by Mom at the airport and finally had that relaxed comfortable feeling I had been missing. Then my dog cried when she saw me get out of the car. Even the Christmas tree was already up. Welcome home!
I enjoyed my vacation a lot and always managed to keep just busy enough. Most days I was able to take a walk in the woods which I missed a lot. Thankfully the weather was not too cold so there was no shock to my system. The first Sunday home I was able to see the choir Christmas cantata in the new church building which was nice. Lots of time with friends and family was just what I needed. I went to visit the farm several times while home as well - still miss that.
Spent Christmas eve with Dad building a front porch on my house. It looks real good all decorated and furnished with family living there. Went to some hockey games and practices to watch my nephew. Got a rabbit hunting trip in. More visiting with family and friends. Worked a few Saturdays wiring with my brother-in-law.
Sounds like a great Christmas vacation right? One of the best I can remember. Before it seemed like I had been home very long - alas - as they say all good things come to an end.
