Am I glad these holidays are over! Not that I am a Scrooge or anything. They just usually invoke a lot of stress. I want not exempt from this. My mother had her 2 children for Christmas, I being one of them who lives in the same city as she. But the only grand-daughter couldn't make it because of cancelled airline flights. The brother's girlfriend decided to make him squirm over the holidays from 3,000 miles away. And he did and the situation was less than desirable, but unavoidable. He's only human.
Nice to have the SOP (significant other person) around on vacation. Didn't have to do much cooking, and got a lot of year-end things accomplished. What I dread is the post-Christmas let-down and depression from my mother. It happens every year. Without fail.
I had never been so glad to take down a Christmas tree in my adult life. I don't know exactly what. Oh, I had to attend a funeral on Christmas Eve afternoon. Kind of put a somber mood over Christmas, but couldn't be helped.
I look forward, not backward - this year. My one New Year's resolution. (I already work out at a gym, so I don't need to make that one.) I am glad you all made it through the holidays as well. Blessings.
