My family is notorious for sending things late. Even my mother, who is usually the only one who arrives on time in my immediate family, sends Christmas boxes - but not Valentine's Day cards, birthday presents, or Halloween cards - late. Ironically, my sister - who is usually the late one - sent all of our presents well before Christmas this year.We were in the middle of a move, which I do not recommend. Ever. Not only did we have to worry about Christmas and farm visits and cookie making - our typical December activities - we had to worry about cleaning our old apartment and organizing our new townhouse. So perhaps it was not entirely my mom's fault that the box didn't arrive on time because the post office had to redirect our mail, but regardless, we ended up having two Christmases anyway.
Arthur, of course, was very concerned about the gifts not arriving on time, but he certainly didn't complain when he got to open more presents a few days after Christmas! (Plus, the second time was more fun because he and Balin got to open them in front of Nana and his aunties.)
What did you do for Christmas? Did you have two of them?
Blessed be.
