Christmas Morning 2015

A look at our Christmas tree in the quiet morning hours before all the happy ruckus began.
 I believe this to be the only photo I took today as I was simply too busy organizing gift giving and cooking Christmas dinner. Today was one of those rare days when I left the photography to others. I have to say, they did a pretty fine job of it too. 
All in all, it was a wonderful day spent with my loving family...and now pardon me while I spend the next week or so sleeping off my exhaustion (kidding/not kidding). :)

"A lovely thing about Christmas is that it's compulsory, like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together."

One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day. Don't clean it up too quickly."
