This year, I am celebrating the Twelve Days of Christmas. And that’s because life conspired to distract me from engaging in the Christmas spirit to just about the night before Christmas.
It was just one of those years. Work was sustained craziness for several months leading up to the holiday. And my personal life had stuff going on too.
And it was funny, and strange, to realize this is the second pandemic Christmas. Once again, the gatherings were small and socially distant. And in our case, very small because an ice storm kept my wife and I home Christmas day. But it was all good because we sat by our festive tree, with our trusty cat Quiet Rustle, eating Christmas goodies and cat treats, respectively of course.
I guess I will close out my last blog of the year with what I’ve been telling people the past few weeks. (And trying to remind myself!)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and Happy Holidays, and Happy Everything everybody!
And Good night!
