All the Christian Homeschoolers!

[SunriseChickers]

Sounds like so much fun! I hope you and your husband have a wonderful time and christmas! And I hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Thank you!

Happy Holidays! And happy birthday!
Im glad your doing well.

We aren't doing much had a family gathering Saturday and have another tomorrow night. Then we are home for Christmas.

Merry Christmas, and thank you!
I'm sad to miss out on all the little family things at home, but my grandmother sent both of us Christmas money, and my mom sent ornaments from the craft store that's part of a huge Christmas event at the Christian horse farm we always went to camp and rode at. But I'd honestly give a lot for one family Christmas dinner, I definitely won't take them for granted now.
It sounds like a really lovely family Christmas and I hope it is all wonderful.

Merry Christmas! That sounds so fun!

Merry Christmas!

Midnight Mass. I'm gonna be tired.

We have something early tomorrow that I likely won't get up for. Then something in the evening, and also of course something on Christmas proper. I don't think we do anything at Midnight except when welcoming Pascha and I'm looking forward to experiencing that. But it starts four hours past our regular bedtime.

Sounds fun!

I’m visiting family, we’re going to celebrate with cousins and such on Christmas Eve, then with just immediate family Christmas morning, then heading home.

That sounds very nice! I remember going to my grandparents' house up in the Michigan backwoods when I was little. It was always great, I miss it. We never really see family as is.

I love it, it's beautiful!

Thank you!

In all honesty, as many nice things as there are to do, I've been pretty sad. It doesn't feel like Christmas and Christmas music makes me cry because it reminds me I can't be with my family for Christmas. I likely will never get another Christmas with my family, either. It is far too dangerous to attempt travel by either flight or car during December from Wyo to Ohio. Maybe Thanksgiving one day, but that's dangerous, too. Overall I'm doing fine, it's just strangely lonely despite my husband working from home and frequently popping upstairs to "visit" me, which is nice.
There are several things I will never get to be with family for because it's too dangerous. Thanksgiving. Christmas. Second Christmas (gparents). My birthday. New Year's. My little sister's birthday. Those were always pretty much the only things we would properly celebrate (Summer bday sister hates celebrating, lol) and they're all Late Nov-Jan which are "no go" travel times.
Everything is well and my Stranger has been taking wonderful care of me, feeding me well (I'm finally not underweight after months of struggling to eat heartily enough), I have a decent body clock schedule for once, and life is stress free. I just miss my family.
So I suppose I would appreciate prayers. What all exactly for, I'm not entirely sure, but any is good.
Anyhoos, I don't mean to complain about anything. I'm just a little sad because it doesn't feel like Christmas...

Ill be praying for you. I couldnt imagine not seeing my family atleast once a week. Being so far would be extremely difficult. I value my close family.

I definitely knew it would be hard and that I'd be very sad at times, but God also made it very obvious that this is where I need to be and who I'm supposed to be with. If it weren't for that, I don't know if I would have wanted to leave at all. I'd never been away from home, so it's of course rather sudden to go from seeing them every day to not being able to see them at all. Perhaps one day they will fully entertain the idea of moving out here with us. I would still miss Ohio though. I like trees.
