Another December

 

On 12/21, I turned a new age.  I went out with two friends who gave me generous gifts, their company, good food, and many drinks.  Maybe because it was a weeknight (no re-routing; no track work), my train trip home was fast and easy. 

 

Though I bought two boxes of Christmas cards, I never wrote them out or sent them. 

 

I spent Christmas Eve awake all night watching Forensic Files’ “Twelve Crimes of Christmas.” 

 

I spent all Christmas Day asleep.  When I went to the store, I was grateful it wasn’t windy.  The freezing temperatures are bad enough.

 

This year, the last night of Hanukkah is on Christmas night.  So tomorrow, both are behind us.

 

My holidays did not include any of this:

or this:

I remain grateful. 

 

Much love to CGG-M  ❤❤❤
