Well, if it were good times ALL the time, would we really appreciate them?

Or something like that.

My Christmas is progressing very quietly and ordinary day-ish. My grandfather called to find out if I was coming up, I told him no, and he told me Mom and them had a present for me. So I guess I'll head up over the weekend or something. My step-brother Peter sounded disappointed that I was there when I called, so that's something. Mom is the only one who didn't want me.

I actually am glad I spent it by myself though. I got to kind of chill out and not stress and just take it easy. Too often the holidays are for other people. Not this year!

Glad to hear that you've been relaxing. Christmas was nice and quiet for me too. Only 15 people for dinner yesterday, and only my grandmother today, so we relaxed, took the dog for her first big outside walk (she's been to the park, but that's it) and then slobbed about.

Aah, bliss.

ONLY 15?

Actually, when I bother to count, things used to be that crazed at my grandparents' house, but over the years the families have slowly drifted into individual family gather celebrations.

It was well after noon before I socially interacted with anyone. And I was then rude to a waitress. Oh well.

It just feels like a regular day. I don't like that for some reason. I want it to be festive.

Well, my Dad has 3 brothers, each with an average of 3 kids. So that's 4 families of 5. Plus 2 grandparents.

Up until we lost one grandparent, one of the brothers doesn't make it every year, one cousin was on call (doctor), one's working in Cumbria (300 miles north) and one's working in a ski resort in Switzerland. So we were low. Of course, the youngest brother just started his new family, so we were two kidlets up :->

I suspect that when we lose my grandmother (hopefully a long time, but realism says next few years) things will drift apart more.
