Day 148: Except when I was a little kid and expected a boatload of loot from Santa on Christmas morning, Christmas Eve has always been my favourite day of the holidays. On Christmas Eve the spirit of the season feels the strongest: the hustle and bustle of the shopping is over and the stores are closed, everyone is gathering together, delicious food is being consumed and memories are being made, and shared. This was a very unusual Christmas for me. This was the first time in my life that I haven't either been living in or gone home to Timmins for Christmas. It's very warm this year where I am at my parents house, it rained even. I don't recall that happening much if ever back home. I have so many beautiful memories of Christmas in Timmins, too many to share in this brief post. Suffice to say that although things are different and I miss Grammy P terribly, Christmas here in BA has been pretty great too. We have more dessert than we know what to do with, we watched old specials like Rudolph and Frosty with the kidlets, we had fondue and Dad even taught us how to play euchre. I wasn't sure how I would feel, this first Christmas without Her. Though I miss her immensely I know it'll be all right. She loved Christmas and wouldn't want us to be sad. I have her with me in my heart always, and hearts come home for Christmas. Except when they are trump in euchre in which case you need to use them to win as many hands as possible. #merrychristmas #luckyhotdog #cardsharkinthemaking #365happydays
