This Christmas was a little smaller and quieter than those in the past few years. One of my brothers’ was staying in a warmer location and the other one was sick and didn’t come here as he usually does. My nephew and his girlfriend were also unable to be here on this day. So, we were able to video chat all of them at the same time for our festivities. Everyone but my son on the east coast was able to be virtually present. We opened presents together and played a white elephant game which was a little challenging, but in my opinion it added to the fun. Technology really helps us be together when we can’t be physically in the same place.

I Found God today enjoying the ability to virtually be with those far away.
