We had only one hitch in our visit to Denver for Christmas, and that was, we took an additional gift of the flu. So, the first two days we slept, visited and mopped up after one another. Actually, I was one of few who didn't get sick, and I dodged some of the most unpleasant jobs in an effort to minimize my exposure.
By Christmas Eve, most were feeling well enough to enjoy a reenactment of the Christmas story, using darling hand puppets. Our daughter read from the scriptures, while her husband and the three children crouched behind a blanket covered board, and held up Mary, Joseph, Shepherds and Angels, to the smiles of us all. When they ran short on hands, our son-in-law's quick thinking saved the day, and his foot appeared holding the donkey.
Traditionally, my daughter sings a song to the children when she tucks them in bed. This night, she asked us to join her in a tender rendition of Silent Night.
