Underneath the Tree (Again)

This Kelly Clarkson holiday song was one that I featured in a prior "12 Days of "Christmas""  playlist back in 2022 (see: "Underneath the Tree" ). We didn't make tamales this year so the reference to playing it while family is around wasn't quite the same, but it did come up constantly on the holiday playlists we've had in the car at playing in the living room all season long.

Christmas this year was a pretty low-key affair. We went to a Christmas service at a church with friends, then spent Christmas Eve and Christmas together with just our family. We had dinner last night, opened presents this morning, and mostly just spent the past two days as a family. It was a modest haul of presents, we made cookies, and we called relatives and texted friends to wish them a Merry Christmas.

Next year, we'll probably do it up a little bigger, but every once in a while it's nice to have an easy, laid back holiday.
