Been spending Christmas Eve alone with my pup for a while. Watching my favorite Christmas movies.

Die Hard this year is only on HBO!!! That really stinks! After “It’s a Wonderful Life” it’s a favorite.

Friends are coming over tomorrow. Well I’ve been unemployed since March but I had about $100 worth of gift cards from Maggiano’s. Went there this a.m. to order and they said “Sorry but we’ve had too many orders and won’t be taking any more.”

I sorta lost it. Told the manager I’d been unemployed, had gift cards, and that was our Christmas dinner. He said “Come back in an hour. You get priority.” Got teary eyed and told him I’d pay it forward.

And I will. He made my Christmas with his kindness.

Spending Christmas Eve and Christmas day alone for the first time. Husband is in hospital with a Covid induced heart attack and I’m still quarantined until next week so kids and grandkids are staying away to be on safe side. Lot’s of phone calls, texts and FaceTime make it bearable.
