It was wonderful that our church organized an online Christmas celebration via zoom. A committee was formed with some members ordering food, while another team delivered food right to our door step.
The Christmas turkey dinner included soup, turkey and trimmings, plus a chocolate pudding for dessert! This was the first Christmas turkey dinner which I did not have to do anything at all
We brought my 94 year old mother from her senior apartment and she was able to enjoy the dinner at our house so she would not be alone for Christmas.
On Christmas day, we were able to have my best friends with us enjoying our turkey dinner together.
We have known each other for over three decades but this was the first time we spent Christmas together. It was a blessing!
In the past many years since our children were born, we were able to have spent Christmas with both of them, We thank God that as they grew up, finished university, they left our nest as they each started working and started their career path.
E, our first born has always come home and spent Christmas in Canada with us no matter where he is working/ living in the world. We have always spent time with our big fat family each year. However, this year, following the health department's guidelines, we could not hold this annual party.
However, we were grateful that, Joanne, the oldest cousin in the next generation took up the baton and organized a family zoom Christmas gathering on Boxing Day.
There were family members from around the world taking part in this festive zoom meeting We spent time catching up with each other and it was the best way to end the year with family memmbers from far and wide.
We gave thanks to God for protecting us this year and blessing us with good health!
