It was 9:30 this morning when our phones chimed. Our neighbor was wondering if we were up: she was hoping to welcome us home, catch up on the last couple of weeks, and exchange Christmas gifts.
C'mon over! Heidi texted back, and a few minutes later the doorbell rang.
"Merry Christmas!" I greeted her. "And Happy New Year, too!"
"Same to you!" she answered, stepping inside. She paused for a moment, and I could tell she was taking in the lights on the tree, the smell of fresh coffee, the logs crackling in the fireplace, the Vince Guaraldi on the record player.
"Well! Isn't this cozy!" she smiled as she sat in the rocking chair.
I had to agree.
