White and Water

I'm 34 years old and this is only my 2nd time that I've missed my mom's Christmas Eve party.

The first time was in 2006, when we spent the holiday in Jamaica. The beautiful white sandy beaches and gorgeous ocean water helped me get through it. I even had a smile on my face.

But this morning and afternoon, I've been a bit sad. I called my mom to see how she's doing, stressing like usual over the preparation. Just really missing my family and the fun tradition I'm so used to.

But again, something white and some frozen water have helped me get through this Christmas Eve, even with a smile on my face.

"It's a Christmas miracle."
