CHRISTMAS 2015

It’s Christmas Eve and hopefully by now, those of you who celebrate Christmas have settled into the joys of the season. It can certainly be a crazy time for many of us and for some of us, a sad time too.

I’ve been praying for many of you. Those of you who have lost family this year, those of you recovering from surgery or those scheduled for surgery in the near future, those of you who have babies coming any moment! You are all in my thoughts.

Tonight we are going to  my MIL’s house. I am cooking up a big pot of collard greens to go with the ham and it will be a nice, quiet evening. Tomorrow, breakfast at home then dinner out and then…The Force Awakens.

The Hub is at work but will be home early. The kids are still sleeping. I am drinking coffee, writing up this post and catching up on the news with the Otter Pup sleeping on my lap. The Christmas lights are twinkling and I am about to light some candles because, well, why not?

Merry Christmas to you all!

Christmas in California
Due to some eye problems (long story), I have been away from books and the blog and basically, the Internet in general and it’s been a real pain. In my head, my vacation was supposed to be filled with reading and until this morning, just looking at printed text of any kind (online, phone, physical book) was excruciating.

Finally, finally I believe I have a handle on it. This, of course, makes me extremely happy.

I can read today, and that is what I plan to do until it’s time to celebrate with the in-laws and the rest of the family. I do have to make a veggie platter but that’s easy. The Christmas shopping is done and the presents are wrapped. Life is good. The Hub is working until 3pm and then we’ll head on over to see the family shortly thereafter.

The Girl just got up and The Teen is still sleeping. We’ll work a movie in somewhere but right now I am sipping coffee and watching I Love Lucy. It’s supposed to be a warm 70 degrees today here in California but I must say, it’s beautiful out. The air is still fresh from all the rain we had.

I may not be online tomorrow so I want to wish all of you who celebrate it, a very Merry Christmas.
