Merry Christmas from Florida here on Hiraeth. We had some awesome fog the morning of Christmas Eve.

The service was quite a production. That night we joined some friends from college who even put together some stockings for us so we could join in with their family! Thanks Matt and Shannon!

Christmas day we enjoyed a nice walk along the waterfront before joining James and Robin and friends aboard S/V Sarita Sea for homemade gumbo and New Orleans boudin.

A very nice Christmas here in Florida. Without the snow it didn't really feel like Christmas until the day's festivities. But still I'm thankful for the season and to celebrate Christ's birth.
