The start of a special Christmas





Well, the holiday has begun in earnest here in the Dorhauer household, and we have begun with some help from our friends here in the Southwest Conference.

A quick drive Tuesday evening down to Tucson gave Mimi and me the pleasure of a night with Briget Nicholson and her two beautiful daughters - Abigail and Gabrielle. We exchanged some gum and chocolate, put some puzzles together, read some books, and had a nice dinner.

And then tonight, Christmas Eve, our daughter Molly established our first new Christmas tradition here in the Southwest as she had us over for dinner at her house - she cooked! From there, we went to the Christmas Eve service at First Congregational - an absolute delight.

I have no doubt that all of you reading this are enjoying your Christmas celebrations in your own way - and enjoying every minute of it. We Dorhauers are doing the same in our new home.

May the peace and joy that is a part of these celebrations, in whatever way we choose to create them, rest and abide with you and yours this Holiday season.
