Sad to say, but I’ve been appreciating the weather outside because the high temps are getting just above freezing (which is better than getting just above a negative number). However, even though I get a mild case of frostbite when I walk from my toasty house to my chilly car and then again when I get back out of the car by the time it’s finally toasty, there are some moments in life that cannot be frozen over.
On Sunday morning, I spent Christmas Day with my family at my brother’s house. My parents, my brothers, their significant others, my step-niece, their cat… all of us eating brunch and enjoying each other’s company. No overloading on turkey and falling asleep; no sitting down on the couch and not talking while watching football; no sitting in the corner, sticking our fingers in our ears and going “LA-LA-LA-LA-I-CAN’T-HEAR-YOU-LA-LA-LA!!!” Sunday might not have been like our usual holiday gathering, but it felt very special nonetheless.
In turn, I want you to ignore the outdoor weather, get all toasty warm on the inside and I wish you all the best of times and hope you had/are having/will have a kick-ass holiday season.
