Christmas Eve Happenings

I had Christmas Eve lunch at my dad and his wife’s house. The lady that has been staying with them for a few months was there, and she helped Diana make homemade pizza. It was too much food for me. Afterwords, I gave my dad his present, and he came in, set two unwrapped items on the fireplace, and said, “Here you go.” On Black Friday I showed him a Golden Girls calendar and a specific candle. I told him I liked both of those things, so feel to pick one and surprise me on Christmas with either gift choice (he had asked me what I wanted for Christmas). So today he very generously presented me with both. A receipt for a hammer was stuck to the candle. He was just glad he remembered where he put them.
Diana sent me home with a pan of her breakfast casserole (what I told her when she asked what she should get me), and now I’m set for several tasty meals. I had brought my dog, Sadie, over to their house with me, so she got quite an adventure herself. She loves the attention.
Hopefully, I get a nap in. Tomorrow is a long trip to spend Christmas Day with my dad’s side of the family. I’ll be so glad to see my nieces and nephew. I think it’s clear how crazy I am about them. Spending time with them and my family is the best thing I could ever get.

Thank you. I’m trying to perk myself up with energy. I’ve been singing my heart out, like a loon, recalling songs from my 7th grade Christmas play in church! I texted my sister the first line, and she called me to sing the second line. She remembered it too!

@Juliaacv That is such a fantastic idea! My dad, Diana, and the lady staying with them went to the nursing home this morning, and sang Christmas songs to the residents. My dad and Diana even wore matching (awful) Christmas sweaters. They had done it last week, and a worker asked them to come today to do it again. They said they really seem to enjoy it.

The main hope I have for it at the present time is for my son to feel better, and my daughter, too. Thank you, Amber.
