“At Christmas, all roads lead home.”

Marjorie Holmes

Dorothy was right, there is no place like home. As I pack and plan for our December 28th move and departure from this home, I have never been more aware of how special home is. To me it is everything.

Home is family, home is love, it is safety, warmth, comfort and a place to be together. Wrapping up ones life and preparing for the holidays has put perspective on the importance of such a place. We suggested that going away this Christmas might be better with all the chaos and the unanimous vote was, “No, we want to be at home!”

So we are here, a Charlie Brown Christmas but we are home. At the end of the day, it is not what is inside the home but who. This week when they all come spilling back from school our home will once again be full and ready for the holidays.
