Part of it is a break from school, one that I really needed. Two weeks off perks me right up every time.
And I bought my few Christmas presents before the crowd and have managed to avoid most of it.
I am invited to Sarjim & Rick's for Christmas dinner tomorrow and am taking a salad and a banana pudding and am really looking forward to that.
I made 'Reindeer Noses' for everyone at school and some little candy pretzel things and everyone was appreciative. I found them both on Pinterest and showed pictures of my done products already. And I was overwhelmed by small gifts from Secret Santa, other teachers, my principal and my neighbor Benny who made me brownies and peanut brittle. Not a lot of $$ spent or needed...but a lot of heart. Overwhelmed.
I have gift cards from Olive Garden & Cracker Barrel & from 2 movie theaters. Wow.
But it's Christmas Eve and the loneliness is still here. I did talk to Steve and he had Christmas with Gray yesterday and will be alone tomorrow. I invited him here but he wants to eat and watch football so I guess we'll both be ok. I still miss it feeling like Christmas Eve though. I should have gone to church but truly did not think about it until right this minute.
'It's a Wonderful Life' is on so maybe I'll watch that, or another movie. And I have probably made myself sick on caramel corn which was delish!! And Les Miz opens tomorrow so going to watch it on Wednesday. And I can sleep late for 2 weeks straight. And tomorrow I get Paula Deen's banana pudding.
Dang, I'm sounding practically joyful!!
