A Full Moon on Christmas Morn

Last night I heard the moon was going to be full, so I went outside to look, but the sky was full of clouds. I could not see it. This morning, just in time for Christmas, I spotted that full moon through the lattice work of my front door.

That was so convenient! I did not even need to step outside to see it, However, when I did step outside, the vision was not nearly as clear. But it was beautiful none-the-less.

It was nice of the moon to align itself with my front door so conveniently, bright and early on Christmas morning. Otherwise, I would surely have missed it.

Under the Christmas tree there were plenty of presents for all in the household. Bow asked to open his big present right after breakfast.

While he enjoyed the process of unwrapping his new blanket, the actual blanket was of no interest to him.

 He immediately asked for some fruit. So I started opening the big gift from his uncle via Harry  & David.

It was two boxes of pears.

There is nothing like a Christmas pear!

Bow took deep satisfaction in every bite.

After he had finished the pear, Bow asked for his Christmas cookies.

This time, Bow got a gingerbread man from the platter his friend had brought by.

Only after finishing the cookies did Bow finally decide to lie down on his new blanket. Sometimes there is just too much, and it takes time to appreciate each gift in turn.

Bow and I hope you are enjoying the full moon Christmas, too.
