Christmas is a wonderful time of year for most of us. There are some of us for whom christmas magnifies how alone and miserable some of us are. The day after christmas I spent the day with a freind of mine who doesn't enjoy christmas as much as I do. He has a terrible relationship with his mother who got married & left him without a home. His father is a non issue. He has no children and his girlfriend is his best friend's sister, whom he had to break up with this season so he could maintain a relationship with said best friend.
We hung out on sunday and I did my best to lighten his mood. It worked sort of but you could tell he was still down. I really didn't know what to say to him since it has been so long since I had a bad christmas.
My own Christmas was fantastic as usual. I never really want anything in particular for christmas so I am never disappointed with my gifts.
I get to spend two crazy days with my wild ass family and eat good food (thanx Aunt Roberta)
Next comes New Years day. The brood gets together for the first of the year at my house and I get to cook up a storm! Sounds kind of corny I know. But hey,Like I said earlier, There are so many out there who have no one to spend the holidays with so I am glad to be corny.
I've been sitting at this damn computer all day working on a Family Video Album for everyone to watch on saturday ,(it's still only half finished) and I am getting aches in places I didn't know I had. I'll see you kiddes on the next go round. Until then........
