It's hard to believe Christmas is almost past already. That this year is almost over already. Not that I will be sorry to see it go, because it was a tough one to be sure. But good things happened too, and I am definitely much better off today than I was a year ago, or even ten months ago. A lot to be thankful for.
I went with my friend B to some friends' house in Dorchester (Boston) last night for some Christmas Eve cheer. And food, lots of food. It was a lovely evening, which went far too late: I got home at 2:00 a.m.! Way past my bedtime. And I had to get up this morning to go over to my mum's, because the fabulous niece had other family obligations this afternoon so that was the only time we could all get together. And it snowed! Just a dusting, just enough to make it pretty but not dangerous or annoying. We had a nice brunch (mum made peaches & cream bread pudding), exchanged simple gifts, mostly homemade or regifted items but heartfelt and appreciated. We Skyped with my brother and his lovely wife, and then off to various other holiday things. I came home, had a piece of mum's linzer torte for lunch, and went back to bed.
Woke up to the phone ringing, with B calling to tell me she was getting tickets to see Heart next month in Worcester. I have loved them since I first heard "Magic Man" when I was 14 or 15, and I'm very excited to finally get to see them live! Yay! Merry Christmas to me. :)
And Happy Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate! I hope you all are doing well.
I'm now waiting for the best part of Christmas: the Doctor Who special!
