Christmas, This Year

Hi all. It's been awhile since i wrote a blog. 

 

I wrote a blog about Christmas last year on Dec. 26th, i was supposed to plan and do and not be stressed this year.  How am i doing?  Abysmally i think covers it, though i don't feel stressed particularly.

 

This year the tree is up, so are some other bits and pieces scattered around and even a poinsettia, a traditional red one. However, there are zero presents bought. There is no baking because Michael found out during the summer He is diabetic. He's been doing so well with managing it, He doesn't want a houseful of goodies. I'll make the annual batches of fudge because most of it we give away.  I can make Him a diabetic friendly cheesecake, egg nog and the English Trifle he loves so well. That'll make Him happy. 

 

Presents i think will be done tomorrow. For adults some little thing, gift cards and fudge. This year i just want to have a good time. Also i'm working Christmas Eve day so stuff needs to be done by Saturday the 23rd!

 

I want to be with people i love on the Day, that's all i want. 

 

It's my wish that each of you have a wonderful Holiday Season and a Happy New Year.  Thanks to all of you who read my work, who supported me. I love you all. 

 

tim

It will be a special day for you. I realized this year that it’s not decorations, food, or presents. It’s the love that embraces you. Sure the traditions are nice, but the love is what makes it golden. Merry Christmas tim. xoxo

"...and even a poinsettia, a traditional red one....." 

 

Some people plant them here in their gardens after Christmas. You can be walking by a house and see a poinsettia 'tree' 10 feet high. Since they grow so slowly, those were probably planted way back in the 1940s.

 

You and Mike have a merry one, Tim. :)

What you have planned sounds wonderful, tim. You are so right about what will make this day soecial. This year will be a good one for my family because both my brothers and their families will be here. We hadn’t expected the west coasters this year, so that’s what makes it extra special. 

 

Merry Christmas tim and Mike and to all the people in your life beyond this cyber world we inhabit.

Blessing and being blessed with those you love and take joy in - that’s the delight of Christmas. You say this so well, it makes me smile. 

 

Merry Christmas, tim, to you and Michael.

A very Merry Christmas to you and Mike, little brother. Love from Mum and I.

PS: Just have a big red bow ready to paste on your forehead. That's all the present Mike and the rest of us want. For varying reasons of course :heart:

Christmas has evolved in our home, so that now it's only the 5 of us.

It's quieter, simpler.  i'm not sure i like it as much as i once did, though.

 

                                   I want to be with people i love on the Day, that's all i want. 

 

This is what we have now.

 

                                         It's my wish that each of you have a wonderful Holiday Season and a Happy New Year. 

 

Merry Christmas to Michael and you too.
