2022-12-26 And That’s a Wrap… 🎄
Christmas is all but over for another year and that’s ok by me. My highlight was getting to spend Christmas Eve night and Christmas morning with my family and my kids. We have our little traditions and that’s enough for me. The rest of it I can definitely do without. In truth, if we could…

2021-12-26 The Christmas Unwrap 🎄🌟🎁
Hello Friends. It’s been a strange holiday indeed. Where to begin? Where to begin? How about everything that feels normal? Both of my kids have been home since last Monday, almost a week and that, in and of itself, is comforting. Even if they are independent and don’t really need me anymore, it is nice…

2017-12-26 And the Winner Is…
My Christmas Day turned out to be far superior to Christmas Eve. I think that the “it” factor was all about obligation. Christmas Eve was all about me running myself crazy about both real and imagined expectations. And as I predicted, everything went just fine and the only real complaint I had was that I…

2017-12-25 It’s Christmas, Don’t Shoot Your Eye Out
The party is over and Christmas morning has come and gone. Every gift that was given has been received and unwrapped. The house is kind of a mess but for the first time in days I’m able to not care about it. The kids have left and gone to their dad’s house and all is…

2017-12-24 Merry Christmas Eve – Unix Style
All I want for Christmas is a nap. If I can get through the day.. I’ll get my wish. I didn’t end up sleeping at all yesterday despite waking up at 4am. As if that wasn’t bad enough.. I didn’t get to sleep until after 12:30 AM! As I drifted off to sleep I was…
