The 12 Days of Christmas: The Summary

So here we are on the last of the 12 days of Christmas. What an amazing way to wait for the Epiphany to the world: both seeing the world, following the history of Christianity, and being amazed and filled with wonder at the history of our world. Yesterday was filled with (at LEAST) 11 hours flying. It was actually about 15 hours in the air and almost 11 hours of layover/wait time in airports. Today was spent resting and recovering in a very busy house.

You can sing along if you like, but here is my version of the 12 days of Christmas:

"On the days of vacation, my Europe trip gave to me...

1 Warm winter coat
2 Delayed Flights
3 Different Tube Lines
4 Tour Stops
5 Ali Isms
6 Eiffel Keychains
7 Trains a-Passing
8 Train Hours Resting
9 Pieces Buying
10 Monuments "Rome-ing"
11 Hours Flying
12 Hours Resting"

There is so much involved in the trip and a real debt of gratitude for both the opportunity to go and to Michelle B. who brainstormed and planned the whole thing. Wonderful and Amazing are the words I'm left with.

May the year be filled with many more epiphanies.
