"The emptiness and silence of new snow on a sleeping city, Christmas morning."





4am - Ms. Anthropy, Texas

I'm exhausted. I plan to spend the rest of Christmas day recuperating.
I survived another one and I'm relieved it's over."

"Our living room, with a dusting of snow outside for a perfect
Christmas morning.  The Mr. and I waited patiently for our grown and
almost grown children to wake up and let the festivities begin."



 
9am - Saara, New Finland
"Just planning to get up after yesterdays Christmas celebration.
 (In Finland we celebrate Christmas at 24th and the Christmas Day is usually really silent,
slow and lazy - we do nothing, just rest and eat well.)"





10am - Andy,  North Carolina
"Brunch at Moms"




11am- Tim, Connecticut 
"We were still waiting for the grandchildren and our kids to arrive."

 It was a dreary day but we ate well and made it through".






1pm - Sally, Florida

"Enjoying the great-grands and reminiscing"....



2pm - Vicky, Minnesota
"Classic Minnesota cold and frosty Christmas Day.
It was -12 when we awoke! Definitely stings the toes and bites the nose!!"





3pm - Diane, Florida -
"Our little snowman's first trip to the Ocean! Canaveral National Seashore"




4pm - Karen, This Old House, Connecticut 
"Table set for Christmas Dinner.  Feeling very blessed
to be able to put good food on the table and share it with family".  




5pm -Deborah, Minnesota 
"It's the small things that get you through :') "




6pm - Kate - Chronicles of a Country Girl,  Maryland
"Taken just after dinner, this is my niece Colleen. Her dad is my husband's younger brother. We always have Christmas dinner at my in-laws home in NJ. They are from England so we have Christmas crackers and we wear these lovely paper hats during dinner and read all the bad jokes that come from the crackers. It's wonderful."  





7pm - Joey, Connecticut 
"JOY takes it’s form in many ways on this Christmas day...but also, every day. 
 You only need to seek it out and catch it."




8pm - Joan, New Jersey
"Unfortunately an uninvited bug was one of my gifts today
and so the first picture is pretty much how I spent Christmas."


"My dad was a police officer in Newark NJ and worked for awhile in the emergency squad. The guys would busy themselves with projects between emergency calls. This was one of them. That 5 ft Santa was drawn on thick plyboard by my dad in 1956. He brought ours home and my mother and I painted it... it took almost a week to finish him. I love how the buttons are on the wrong side, and I love that it's probably the only project the 3 of us did together...but most of all I love that Santa looks just like my dad. This is a family treasure and we all love him."





9pm - Kate, British Columbia
"My life on Christmas Day...unfortunately I came down with that horrible flu
that seems to be going around and spent most of Christmas Day and all of Boxing Day in bed. 
 I crawled out of bed long enough to take a picture, crawled back in and that was Christmas!"





10pm - Beth, Wisconsin -
"This photo is just a tiny part of the best gift I  received on Christmas day." 





11pm - Nancy, Wyoming 
"Looking through the quiet house last night for my 11 p.m. slot I came across this and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. One of our grandsons thought the undecorated tree made a good nest for this ostrich beanie baby. Not the dreamy after Christmas photo I had planned, but it certainly represents The holiday this particular year! And it was taken with my new iPad, a nice surprise from my sweetie of 46 years!"




Midnight - Sandra , Virginia-
"Knitting...and knitting my life back together."
