I am enjoying having no expectations. It is fun going through various tubs and boxes sorting ornaments. I even found a collection I thought I had misplaced.
I found the leather ornament my daughter made for Bob's first Christmas with us. I have been able to donate a few more things to get them out of my house.
There is a sweet spicy scent in the air. I am making up a dessert as I go along. I started with a cake mix, but it is full of applesauce and spices, and it is smelling so yummy.
So things are very peaceful this year.
We will have meatloaf, herbed potatoes, and maybe glazed carrots for Christmas lunch. Of course there will be dessert as well.
No place to go. Nothing we have to do.
A former co worker called Bob today to say Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all of you as well.

I really was referring to no need to shop. I wish my family was closer, we never visit them at Christmas. No work related parties this year, though.

Sounds delicious. I should do vegetables for a day or two just for my health.

Sir, I am not so young! Maybe not so patient, either. Happy New Year coming up. Be safe and well.
