Day 3 Christmas Day

Jan 15, 2012

 This year I was sort of glad we didn't have much to do on Christmas Day. Since we moved away from our familes 6 years ago every Christmas that I have not been able to go home has been hard. All my friends here are spending their Christmas away with their families and it usually leaves Shayne and I left alone (we have no kids). Most of the time I have been able to go home for Christmas but Shayne can never take time off around Christmas time in his job so the last couple years I've stayed. 

This year, I was invited to spend Christmas with a group of people from church. Figures after all the years we have spent holidays alone, the one year I can't participate is the year I'm invited somewhere.  Christmas without family or food seems kind of not like Christmas at all but I was determined to make it at least a little special. We stayed in all day and watched as many Christmas movies as possible. At least it was a relaxing day. Next year and the years after I can look forward to real Christmas's again with all the food and trimmings as every Christmas should have. And this year hasn't been the worst Christmas ever. I'll reserve that title for the year we traveled on Christmas Day. But that's a different story...
