I woke up this morning with a big grin on my face! It's Christmas!!
I actually had the chance to be awake at the very beginning of Christmas day. If you haven't already heard, I've changed jobs recently. I am not working at Bethany anymore but have been hired at the Saskatoon airport as a Customer Service Agent.. a job that I am ABSOLUTELY loving at the moment. I had a late night shift yesterday and at precisely 12:04am I walked out of the airport customs to greet Christmas "morning" 2008!
I drove to Blaine Lake this morning to spend Christmas day with my parents and Heather. On the way from Saskatoon I was listening to "Sounds of the Season" on 98.3FM and it was making me quite emotional. I saw a lot of wildlife along the way and just couldn't stop smiling! What a beautiful day! I was suddenly shocked by a bright pink glow and looked in my rearview mirror to see the most amazing sunrise:
My camera doesn't do it justice but the colours were so bright! I went a little crazy with the camera then and took a couple more pictures of the landscape. I always get a little sentimental when I drive this highway. As soon as I cross the Petrofka bridge, I feel like I'm home!
Next on this day, I arrived home and after lugging all my bags and boxes full of christmas gifts into the house, dad and mom, Heather and I sat down in the livingroom. As always, we started with the Christmas story before handing out gifts. I love Christmas at home! In the next few days, we get to celebrate Christmas a couple more times with different "sets" of family. There is no feeling like the one that permeats this season! I love it!
All the presents to be given!
Dad reading the Christmas story.
This was my present from mom & dad! Dad bought and wrapped it all. It was a toolbox FULL of tools! Just what I asked for! Thanks mom & dad!!!
One of Heather's presents: Beethoven's Complete set of Sonatas
