It’s almost Christmas time…

So dear readers, it’s that time of year again. Almost Christmas, in fact tomorrow is Christmas Eve; I know obvious, Zoe, obvious. I live in TN, where there’s rarely any snow, and so I’m sure that we will not see snow this year at all. In fact it will be sixty degrees outside tomorrow, at least that’s what the weatherman said this morning. I am a bit disappointed because it was getting really cold, down in the teens and I was hoping for a little snow this year. But I suppose I’ll get over it, I always do. The last time I remember snow and ice on Christmas I was not older than maybe thirteen or fourteen, and I remember getting my new suede boots nearly ruined in the snow that year.  That was a long time ago it seems, back when things made more sense in my family and in my life. This Christmas I’m reminded of last, when it was a different show, when there was a different man in my life, when I was damn near engaged. Spoony gave me a ring that year and asked me to some day marry him. We celebrated for the first time as a group without Wallis-san. This Christmas we aren’t celebrating as a group; things are too messed up for that this year. Spoony and I had that horrible falling apart, and the group is torn apart and spread out. I miss those group nights in the bonus room, playing video games or cards, drinking too much coke and laughing so hard. But things have changed, and I am accepting it. So I’ll be celebrating differently, going out with a different man, laughing and joking and kissing someone else.

Wash and I are going to see Ice tonight, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and I am excited. No kidding, I wanted to see that last year and we never got around to it, but we are going tonight. I am a procrastinator like whoa, so I bought his present today, and I’m not sure whether he will get online so I’m not going to tell what I got him. I just hope no one else got him the same thing or that he doesn’t have it already. I will be really upset. I wrapped it, and it is sitting on my table now, ready to be picked up when he comes to get me. I’m so taking lots and lots of pictures. Anyway, I need to get all cute and ridiculous looking in my new pink sweater. Ick, pink, I never wear pink, but I guess pink is better than another black sweater, which I seem to collect, and considering its Christmas I should not be so dark and gloomy. So that is my mini-blog entry on Christmas so far. Stay tuned for more.

Quote of the Day: Well I know there’s more snow up in Colorado than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas is the only Christmas for me

That’s What Christmas is all About, Charlie Brown

“And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, ‘Fear not: for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.’ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”

Merry Christmas everyone!
