Just want to wish everyone a happy holiday season. Be safe and keep warm, I know I will be!
People here ask me if it’s hard to be away from home during the holidays, and it is but it isn’t. I’m not much of a holiday person, really, so it’s not a huge deal to miss out. Mainly, it’s just nice to have the time to relax and be around family and eat a lot of good food- and that I miss. Here, it’s hot and there’s no snow- it doesn’t even seem like December. So it’s pretty much like any other weekend, even the malls are open for shopping. Except that kids have been shooting off fireworks and the carols have been playing non-stop. I hear that this should stop sometime in January.
I really hope that’s true.
