These past few weeks have been SO busy. Decorating for Christmas, taking advantage of my daughter being at school to shop for her, a Christmas party or two and a grooming visit for Lucy. As if I didn't have enough, we adopted a 7 month old kitten. We have changed her name to Elphie from Luna (let me get that jingle stuck in your head - 773-202-LUNA) and have been assembling litter boxes, a cat condo, a cat tree and figuring out where she will stay while she gets used to the house when we're not home.
Christmas cards have been sent to the short list of just a few that I send to older relatives and immediate family, and a few new and special friends. I feel back to my old self with the holidays and now am busy meal planning and baking.
Christmas Eve afternoon, D and I will make our annual trek to a bookstore where we will pour over books and choose a couple for reading. We will go get tacos and chocolate and then head home to watch Christmas movies while reading and then we will go to church and when we get back home, open gifts near midnight. I will actually have something going in the fireplace this year and I have a furnace, which I didn't last year. Last year was the lowest of lows and this year, new friends, D is home and a new member of the family are all making this holiday season wonderful and special.
My heart has found Christmas once again.
