Christmas
Merry Christmas, everyone.
It’s past midnight, so I guess that makes this technically the day after, but no worries. It’s been a heck of a couple of days. Got all the presents we needed bought and sent and wrapped and etc., etc., etc., though sadly my sister’s present didn’t make it to Seattle due to snow. I’m pretty bummed about that one. But I had the most uplifting post-Christmas chat with her on the phone about an hour ago, and it really made my whole day. I know sometimes I can be way too aloof to be a good friend, let alone a good sister, but I’m trying to make that better. I was really glad to get ahold of Lisa tonight and see how everything went and whine at her about stuff that went wrong and celebrate stuff that went right and talk about all the great food we made and all the neat things we got and good times we had. I had a nice chat with Mom and Dad this morning, too, though a bit short due to my phone running out of batteries. Sigh. We made it, we’re not destitute, everyone seemed passably pleased, and it wasn’t just me who was feeling a little Christmas funk this year. It’s a funky time.
And now I’m going to sleep, and dream, and wake up refreshed. And enjoy all the wonderful thoughful things my husband gave me, and all the warm, comfy things my in-laws gave me, and maybe even have a big cup of delicious tea out of the most beautiful tea set this side of St. Petersburg. Perhaps with pictures to follow.
And to all, a good night.
