I can't believe we are already on day 12, Christmas is literally just around the corner, oh my word.
Right, well today's prompt is about the kind of Christmas you enjoy, whether the quiet one or the Loud with lots of family and party Christmas.
I would have to say that for me, I like both. For many years, while we were still an active duty military family, it was just the 4 of us. So they were quiet holidays, but fun and memorable nonetheless.
After retiring, we've been able to live near family both in Idaho and Texas, and so our last few holidays have been loud and family filled, which is very reminiscent of our Childhood Christmases, and what I've always been used to.
Though I love the crazy busy holidays, I also find myself feeling overwhelmed and looking forward to some peace and quiet.
As always, this year will be one filled with family, lots of food and a special visit from my niece's fiancee Steven. We're very much looking forward to that :)

I gave basically the exact same answer Sandra! I'm with you on liking some of both. Family and fun is wonderful - but need those quiet moments too -and reflect on the true meaning of the season. xoxo
The days are flying in deed.....quiet for me....don't like all the noise and commotion....like spending with family but keeping it low key........
Have a blessed day
