Picture-Perfect Christmas

So, after too many hours of travel yesterday (from the time I left my apartment to the time we reached my parent's house, about 12 hours), I arrived in Newfoundland.

Then, dinner tonight was a full Christmas dinner at Mom's cousin's house. She & her husband are going out of town for Christmas, and so they did doing Christmas at their place early. She's been in a little trouble lately, and had thought that people wouldn’t show because of it. We were the last to arrive, and when she looked at Mom and said, "Everybody came", and smiled, I was very happy for her. She's a nice person, a good person, and the stuff that's happened to her recently doesn’t really seem to have been her fault, so I’m really glad we could all make it.
