The calendar says it's Christmas Eve today, but I'm not totally feeling it this year. The move, the house hunting, the lack of holiday decor at our house, the weather, the absence of family and friends, it all adds up to it kind of a "meh" Christmas. We do have a pile of brightly wrapped presents that came from various family members. It will be fun to open those up tonight or tomorrow. I'm sure there will be some phone calls and Skyping, but that's not much different than any other weekend. Really, it's just another weekend around here. I did manage to whip up some Christmas cookies earlier this week, which was kind of fun. I have no cookie sheets so I used the bottom part of our broiler pan, which worked pretty well. (The lack of cookie sheets has also delayed my ability to make peanut brittle. Luckily Mom sent some for us in the Christmas box.)
I hope everyone is having a merry holiday season, whatever holiday you may observe. I also hope that everyone has someone to enjoy the season with. Whether you're celebrating with friends or family, I hope you are surrounded by love, laughter and joy. Mele Kalikimaka!
