Corey: “So good to sit next to you a couple nights ago.”
Me: “Couldn’t agree more! I was thinking on the drive back to Chicago about how nice Santa Tracking with you and Cole on Christmas Eve was.”
Corey: “It truly is the little things.”
I had a lovely holiday, filled with great meals, lovely gifts, fantastic parties and busy weeks. But when I think about what made Christmas 2010 special for me, it’s as simple as sitting snuggled up to my buddy Corey and his nephew Cole on Christmas Eve with an iPad on our laps, keeping a keen eye on the Santa Tracker. It’s getting to quote The Santa Clause with my Dad, learning what reindeer food consists of from 4 year old Marilyn (oatmeal and glitter, in case you didn’t know) and going for a Christmas Day run on a snow covered trail with Ryan. It’s getting a text that bring it all home, like the one Corey sent to me today.
The little things, indeed.
