Much like Thanksgiving Christmas was not how we would usually celebrate, but we made the best of it and focused on what was important.
We decided to surprise the boys with a new addition - a kitten! He was in a foster home and we arranged with his foster mom to pick him up on Christmas Eve. We packed up the kids and told them we were dropping off gifts to dads coworkers. Once we pulled up to the house we told them there was a surprise inside and that they each had a gift to open as a clue. They opened a cat toy, a scratching post, and a collar. I went in and brought our new addition out - Tommy!
He made himself at home as we celebrated Christmas day that included a Back to the Future marathon and lots of kitten snuggles - and of course presents!
We can't wait until we can resume our regular celebrations next year, but we made this one pretty special!
