puppetmakerNot where I expected to be at the beginning of the year.
If this was a normal year, I would probably be writing this in my parents new digs with a glass of my mom’s egg nog which has ruined all other for me.
We set up our tree and put presents under it. My family knows me so well. I got some really neat gifts from them and my friends. I feel loved.
(For the VI: This is our Christmas tree in a red pot with white lights and various ornaments. Under the tree are presents to the family)
There are things missing. My mother sent me my Christmas cookies much earlier this month. They might get here tomorrow. Various gifts were sent at the beginning of the month that have not arrived but will eventually.
I made eggs benedict that turned out fine. It is a balancing act to get everything ready at the right time. Tonight is steak and bake potato night.
(For the VI: Same tree. Presents have been opened and there a three servings of Eggs Benedict ready for the family)
Today we are going on a movie watching binge. We started with ‘Wolfwalkers’ which was excellent and nice to see that form of animation again. Next is ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ which is proving to be a good popcorn flick. After that we will watch ‘Soul’. To finish off with a Charlie Brown Christmas and Grinch.
Here’s to next year being more normal.
I do feel blessed with my family and friends.
This year did remind more than some other years of why this holiday exists and I am glad for that.
I am grateful for holiday cheer in all its forms.
