So a funny thing happened to me today. Christmas is over, I ate too much and all the usual stuff. Yes, there is a bit of the, “blue’s.”
In the back of my mind, I’m mulling over about how much I love Christmas and everything about the holiday season. My dark side sneaks up behind me and whispers something like, “I wonder how many more we’ve got?”
Parents are gone, sibling is in another city; she is my loving family connection.
My darling is busy clearing out the hall closet. In behind a pile of bags, shoes and stuff that seem to accumulate at the back of hallway closets, he begins to chuckle.
“I found these,” he says and holds up a bag of home made, crochet slippers that my mom made years ago. My mom always made these slippers, and they were always appreciated by me. The bag had about 30 pairs of slippers in it. Turns out I am good for a long time to come, thanks mom! Thank you too my darling. Just as I start to feel old, Christmas renews it’s seasonal magic, cool!
Same here. Great memories of childhood and Christmas! It’s just not the same now that our parents are gone. We have tree decorations that my mom made and put them on the tree every year. Thanks to our new young cat, no tree is up this year. There’s no point risking those precious decorations to our little feline whirlwind.
Family is no longer all together, so we are celebrating this coming weekend. It will be next year!!!
It’s crazy how the time goes. And how precious every day is. There is so much to be grateful for.
Amen My dear friend, your comments are wonderful and I am grateful to you for them, you are a bright light 🙂 xoxoxox
