We had the best Christmas yesterday. My husband had to work, so Mom and I spent the afternoon at my sister's house. Boy did she have a good dinner! Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, sauerkraut with sausage, cranberries, corn pudding, mac and cheese, hot rolls, and green beans. After that there were homemade streusels and cinnamon rolls. Then we goofed around for awhile until Mom got tired and I took her home. It was only 6:00 by then, so I took my dog and myself over to Mom's house, and we sat around eating turkey sandwiches and watching the dog play with his new toys. I went home around 8:00, and found out that A Christmas Carol was on. My favorite version too! Well, they kept playing it, and I lost track of time and finally went to bed at 2:00am.
I am so sleepy right now I don't know what my name is.
Maybe I'll just keep staring at this computer screen until 3, when I can go home and have a nap. The charts will just have to stack up today.

Well I still have Christmas with my parents today and then the big Official Christmas with my ILs won't be till the 29th or 30th. We had a small thing with them Christmas Eve because my husband's youngest sister had to send her kids with her ex on Christmas day, around 11am. She wouldn't have them back till much later in the evening and wanted her parents to get to have as many of us there as possible on Christmas Eve/Day.
My husband's other younger sister is driving in from New Orleans on the 28th to pick up her kids, who flew in on the 21st to spend Christmas with their dad/her ex. ILs held off on the big spread and family bonfire till she can get here with her DH and kids.
Even with those two more acknowledgements of Christmas coming up - I'm trying, but I still am feeling that pressing sense of loss. I think too because it is my son's last Christmas with us as - our "child." Does that make sense? He's leaving for college in St. Louis, MO in August. Half the nation away. I think he'll come home for Christmas, but who knows?
I was watching the new Christmas movie with Candice Cameron where she is a real estate developer checking out the lodge that focuses on Christmas celebration. In it, the lodge owner is talking to her and says, "A son is a son till he takes a wife, but a daughter is a daughter for the rest of your life." I burst into tears.
There is so much coming up this year that I'm not looking forward to, I think I invested so much into this Christmas season emotionally that the close of it is feeling overwhelming.
Anyone remember that scene with Kevin Bacon in She's Having A Baby where he is strapped into that jet cart careening into a crash wall? That's what I feel like. LOL
Ah well... thankfully MMC is here and I can play on it all year through.
Merry Christmas everyone! I pray your Christmas is merry and bright. :-D

I is hard to say good bye to your kids and hope you prepared them well to face life on their own.
You feel sad and melancholy for a time and then slowly it is replaced with pride and joy as you see him mature into a wonderful man.
So nice to continue your Christmas festivities.
Enjoy your week!
we went out briefly to look too, not very busy in the stores and I also did not see anything that caught my eye, not even any cards.
We have nothing planned for today except a bit of cleaning and watching movies.
I have only been called for jury duty once, I was not selected and was really glad since it was a rape trial.
Hopefully the trial you are at will not last to long.
sounds like you have a nice week ahead of you. Good to be organized for next year, I am going to wait until after new years to start mine, just want to be lazy now.
hope you feel better soon, family here has a touch of the cold bug too.Good afternoon to all!I hope that everyone's Christmas was MERRY and bright. ;]
I woke up on Tuesday morning feeling ill so I basically spent two days in bed eating smelly garlic and drinking lots of tea. I haven't had sore throat or running nose for years and now I got it on Holiday. Yuck. :/ Anyway, I managed to chat with my mum on Skype last night for 3 hours!!! (It probably was the longest chat we have ever had on Skype. ^^ )
I am now looking forward to going home for New Years. :]
Enjoy the rest of the holiday everyone! (I see that some of you have already started thinking about next year's Christmas or card exchange. Oh, I wish I could be that organized!)
Best wishes from cloudy and windy Scotland!
Have fun on your trip home!
