I got hit with a really bad "bluesy" feeling tonight. Was in the grocery store getting stuff to make to take to a friend's for Christmas dinner and heard "I'll Be Home For Christmas" and realized I won't.

I nearly cried in the darn store for pete's sake. It's just that I want to be with my family right now. I want to watch my niece open up her presents. I want to hear my sisters in the kitchen laughing. I want to see their husbands watching the games on TV.

I miss that fiercely right now.

I'll be fine. I have plans that day. I won't be alone but even if I were, it would be okay. I kinda like my own company.

And I have crazy gifts to unwrap including one from some Apple state!

Happy Holidays Bella!!! I was hoping that you would make it home for a day or too!! Look forward to seeing you!

Insert <BIG HUG> here!!!! LoL

btw, you can't confirm that the gifts are crazy until you actually unwrap them, silly girl.

Perfectly put! I refuse to dwell on the unhappy stuff. One of my primary lessons this year has been that it's not all about me. And I actually like that.

Also, grin, I know the giver of one of the gifts so I feel safe in saying CRAZY. phbbt!

Darlin, me too! I was hoping to get some Cowboi time. Wasn't meant to be though. Hopefully next year. I've already put in for some Christmas vacation time.

Did they do the flotilla this year? I used to LOVE that! Box sliding on the levee and hot chocolate. grin

Happy Holidays, everyone!

It's the first Christmess eve I've been alone in many years and I'm admittedly having a tough time. Thankfully, my family is here and they are coming over tomorrow.

Happy Christmas, Cara. I'm home alone as well but I've got my friends Bing and Danny on the TV to sing to me. I had some rough moments but made it through work. They played Christmas music all day. LOL I love the happy ones, but I'm SO not loving that "I'll be home for Christmas" number. HOwever "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" and Cheech and Chong's "Santa's Coming" had me rolling in the aisle.

I hope you have parties to go to and invitations to turn down, sweetheart. Remember, you are MY femme crush! Enjoy your family tomorrow!
