Today we're traveling back home after a three day family visit to Chicago.
The tradition in my husband's family is to celebrate Hanukkah right after Thanksgiving, since the entire family is gathered together. Rather than send gifts during Hanukkah, we prefer to give gifts so we can participate in the joy the children experience when they open their gifts.
It's was a big gathering, including my mother-in-law, her 5 kids and spouses, 12 grandchildren and 3 spouses and 4 great grand children.
As we're on our way back home, I reflect upon my gratitudes for today.

I will post several days today. So I start with:
1.- I love the excitement children start to feel around this time. Christmas is coming!
2.- I love how the kids remember and talk about the aunts and uncles who live far away but will be here for Christmas .They can hardly wait to see them.
3.- I appreciate that we are all happy for the fact that our family from Brasil will be here, and also our family from New Mexico. The telephone calls are many and close together.
