HOMEWARD BOUND — Nox Arcana

I am grateful to have always been blessed to be At Home and Welcome, almost wherever I’ve been. I am also grateful to have always had a HOME at Christmas time. I have spent Christmas Day in several different places that I have lived. Here is a list of the cities, towns, or nearest towns in which I have spent Christmas. This is not in any kind of order as some places saw many Christmas and a few only one, and others several.

Lakeland, Florida

Punta Gorda, Florida

Yulee, Florida

Ocala, Florida

Panama City, Florida

Hilliard, Florida

Tallahassee, Florida

Quincy, Florida

Jacksonville, Florida

Sopchoppy, Florida

Crawfordville, Florida

Lakeview, Oregon

Mapleton, Oregon

Great Falls, Montana

San Jose, California

Blue Ridge, Georgia

Atlanta, Georgia

Huntsville, Alabama

Urawa, Japan

And now 15 Christmases in a row (minus one) right where I am now . Some Christmases were in different parts of the same community, and some were several years in one place. And in some cases HOME changed places a few times in the same year before Christmas. This is just a list of Christmas venue. I didn’t live in two of these named places, but all are or were HOME, and I was an actual resident everywhere else.
