Almost Christmas... I love this time each year. There's so much promise in a holiday that's nearly here. Things to look forward to, people to connect with, decor still fresh and bright. I love it all.
My great nephew is up from Fort Worth, and is spending the night. We've had a lovely evening. Pizza, Doctor Who, great conversation. He's turned fourteen since our last visit, and grown a few inches in height. He's grown even more in maturity. I always enjoy his company.
Saw my sister in law and one of my great nieces today. We had a wonderful visit, visiting and laughter. I enjoy seeing them.
Tomorrow, I'm having an open house. I've been cleaning and baking today, getting out serving dishes which seldom see use. Lots of munchies feed everyone. I'm hoping that folks show up. Only a handful of people have been to my home since moving here. I tend to live a quiet life since I've became ill.
I'm hoping to hear from my sons over the holidays. The oldest is fairly good at staying in touch, but rarely on holidays or special occasions. The youngest doesn't stay in touch at all. I've spoken to him once since I moved here. When I was in the city, I'd hear from him quite often, and he'd visit frequently. I miss him, probably more than I should. I don't think he's forgiven me for making him stand on his own two feet. It was absolutely necessary for his wellbeing. No one lives a decent adult life depending on Mom to provide for all of their needs. Still, I love him and wish him well.
Not much else for now. I still need to finish up a backgammon board, and put it under the tree. Then, there's five pounds of fudge to cut and wrap up, as well as a carrot cake to ice.
So, enjoy the holiday(s) that you celebrate.
