I broke with tradition this year. I didn't spend Christmas on my own watching dvd's and films on television and enjoying every minute of it. I spent it with my parents and my sister on Christmas Day and with them and my brother and his family on Boxing Day.
I cooked dinner with my sister without a turkey or any other bird in sight. I got a few lovely presents, not too many: we don't really do presents. I went to the theater and saw Alice in Wonderland with my sister and father and brother and sister-in-law and nephew and niece. I took my niece to bed, but couldn't find Horse. I saw a lot of Christmas films, including a few I didn't know.
However, I forgot to take my camera and neither my sister nor my father took theirs out. So, no photos of the fantastic mustard soup (I will put up the recipe tomorrow) or the dessert which partly failed, but still tasted yummy. Sorry.
It's good to get to see relatives, isn't it? And I hope Horse finally made an appearance.
ReplyDeleteWell, your "traditional" Christmas certainly sounds restful, and I know you work hard, but I'm glad you spent the time with your family this year. One thing we don't want to have in our lives is regret.
