My eleventh entry for Holidailies so far this year...
(Just wander in from Holidailies? There's an introduction to the main characters
down towards the bottom of the page... just scroll down.) |
Christmas Eve at last.
Perhaps I should say "Christmas Eve so soon!" because of how
unready we seemed to be, but I think we have caught up with things.
Uh, except the tree is still on the roof of my car in the driveway, but
otherwise I think we are ready. LOL!
I have brought the ornaments up from the basement, but I don't think the
tree is going to get set up until after dinner. Ah well, I am sure it will
still look nice tomorrow morning. Since the baby of the family is a two
hundred pound bearded 23 year old, Christmas morning is no longer a flurry
of activity and childish cries of joy. Still, we do enjoy our Christmas
morning rituals, opening presents, sipping coffee, enjoying being together.
Well, excuse me, but I have to cut this entry short so I can go get dinner
started.
Merry Christmas!
| An introduction for those of you wandering in here from Holidailies
for the first time: I'm just a middle-aged guy (but somehow I hit 65 on my last birthday) who
lives in Rhode Island with my wife Nancy (a middle-school math teacher), daughter Gillian
("Jill" -- 26 yr old baker and part-time college student), son Jeremy (23 yr old
restaurant cook and part-time college student), and Tiger (senior citizen cat). Eldest child Adam
lives in New York City with his wife Leah and our grandsons Sam and Milo. I'm a programmer/systems
analyst who got involved with software training and instructional design. I currently work from
home doing quality assurance and editing on course material for both classroom courses and Web-
based training courses for a very big computer company. I've been writing this online journal
since 1996. |
