Christmas in Oxford

This was my first year to be away from my family at Christmas.  Jones has been away before.  Our usual routine is to be in the mid-south for the holidays, driving furiously between Memphis, Senatobia, and Tunica.  We enjoyed the experience of having Christmas at our own house this year, but we missed seeing our families.  We went to church on Christmas eve and then had dinner at our friend's house.  Christmas day, we stayed home and enjoyed opening gifts, making cookies, and having friends over for dinner.
