Just my roommate and best friend in life for 62 years are hanging around in our family room with no tv and discussing past Christmases.
Basically, tomorrow will be a replay.
My wife has a bad hip and will be scheduling a replacement in a couple of months. She and I are not up to the normal billion calorie meals and the work that goes in before, during and after the meal.
So we decided to do it different this year.
No guests tonight or tomorrow. Just phone visits and text visits. Then, the same for New Year’s Eve and New Year day.
On January 2, we will have the families here for lunch with pizza and whatever. They will bring their favorites, and we will share the food. After lunch, we will open the presents, take pictures, tell stories and maybe launch a new not Christmas nor New Years holiday.
We are having catered meals tonight and tomorrow. I got them yesterday, and basically we just reheat them.
The one remaining college kid is home for the holidays and semester break. The company, he has worked for on line and in the field has restocked his home office in his parents’s home. He will be working online basically until he goes back to college if the college is open.
His sister is a new RN and is working, this Christmas in the hospital. Then, she can fly out here for New Years to be with us and her family on 2 January.
Most if not all of us are in a new world re relatives, friends and re family and working.
So, we adapt and most will continue loving our families and celebrating in different ways.
I got my ‘Know it all’ gaming 19-year-old real good.
I had him going for almost 15 minutes about a terrorist attack in Los Angeles. There were 30 to 40 people trapped in a skyscraper on the 30th floor. Several people dead. It looks like a police officer was at the party when things went bad.
15 MINUTES - Best Christmas in years!
Welcome to the party pal!
