Well, I'm taking the week off to be with family for Christmas, you know gifts and turkey and the usual stuff.
Other than that, the only "tradition" is that I usually compose a Christmas Poem and read it sometime during the day. This year is proving difficult. But, I have a feeling that it will be about a girl outside a church, and how she might have spent Christmas alone.
Since my folks have moved from the country into a "neighborhood," I'm thinking of suggesting that we go out "Caroling." I haven't used my voice much in recent years, so it is weak, but I'd LOVE to do it! We are all somewhat musically inclined, and it would be fun!
We rarely have snow here in the South for Christmas, and won't this year, so it is hard to get into the "spirit." Of course, I wrote a poem about THAT, too..... so I have no excuse!
And then, as EVERY year, I will watch as others enjoy Christmas with their children, and I'll become acutely aware of what I have LOST all these years.... not knowing my daughter.... and I'll drink a bit. It's pretty much the same EVERY year! It's a "tradition."
But, then, I'll remember that Christmas is NOT about ME.... and then I'll be okay again.
Oh.... and of course, I'll wish ALL my friends at CAD a very Merry Christmas! Especially those with HUGE families! :wink:
