This a good thing or a bad thing?

A friend of mine on Facebook wrote today that she'd been wanting to have Christmas all alone for years and was finally doing it, and found it very nice and relaxing. Sometimes, solitude is exactly what a person needs. Sometimes not.

Whatever the case may be, it's good to see you, Mac.

Thank you, Thorn. My 'nada' is because I have zero going on this holiday season, but I will spend it as your friend is - enjoying the peace and quiet.

this year, has been everyone of those mentioned above. but turning the page, moving forward, that's the only thing i can do

thanks for this one tim, i'm grateful that you share them xo

[mollyhousemouse]

i hope everyone is having a good day. i'm finding it hard to concentrate OR accomplish anything. most of my emails are receiving "Out Of Office" auto responses. on the plus side, i permanently deleted several hundred emails from my deleted items, sent items & draft emails folders 😏. maybe IT won't send me a nasty gram about how full my email is.

We are going downtown to meet the boy for dinner and then we'll wander south to look at the lights for a bit.  We shouldn't be too late i shouldn't think. Tomorrow we will be home, we have a few things to do, but i hope we can watch a movie or something. I hope to get a bit more writing done.

Have a lovely afternoon and evening.

My chocolate-orange Bundt cake is in the oven, and dinner is on the stove. So....   the fun parts of the holiday are over, and I just have to get through "the joy of family" all day tomorrow and Wed. through noon.

Sounds like a good cake Fae - have a good dinner and the family get together

Cake turned out pretty good.  I put the cooling rack on top of the bundt pan, then flipped them both over -- but I guess I was't holding them together tightly enough because they slipped and half the cake ended up off the cooling rack and on the [thankfully clean] counter.  So now, instead of a single round bundt cake we have four quarters.  Sampled some of the larger crumbs and it tastes pretty good.  Will taste even better with the frosting.  Used a spatula to move the pieces over to the carry tray and arranged them back into a circle the best they could be.  Not the prettiest, but still good.

As mom said, "It does look perfect -- just not perfect in the way you expected."

I don't know how many of you will be around over the next two days, but I want to leave this so you all can find it next time you pop in.

Whether the holiday is a fun, festive, riotous affair for you and yours or a quiet, contemplative one, I sincerely hope it is exactly the way you wish it to be.

You have all become a part of my family. The miles between us do not matter, nore the fact we have never laid eyes upon each other, and in all probability never will. We care for each other, support our friends in the pleasant endeavors and the hard times.   

I just wanted you all to know I am thinking of each of you, and am thankful for each and every one of you.

Thank you, Kitt. Merry Christmas!

I think we all feel this way, all the time ... but at this time of year we are more likely to voice it.

I hope all of my DiC-a-dees have a wonderful Christmas and New Years.  We likely all have things we'd like to be different, but often we cannot change those. So, now is the time to look to each other, to hold each other in our hearts, because we are here together and that is something we can feel and know.

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Seasons Greetings to you all.

Merry Christmas all.  As the year draws to a close I reflect on how I grew and where I want to direct my growth next year.  

 

I'm glad to have you in my life, even if I seem more distant of late.  I appreciate you all and wish you a restful day tomorrow.
