It is the 24th, and I had hoped to spend the day in Halbyhoffburg a.k.a. Ajijic but, due to the vagaries of fortune, what with the death of Antonio my friend and house-and-doggie sitter and snowstorms in the NW, I am celebrating this day, surrounded by some of the Worthless Ones, roasting a chicken in the oven and drinking too much cheap red wine.
By myself.
I have no decorations, no mistletoe nor ordinary pine branches decorated with baubles and lights. Nothing.
I, at this time of my life, do not much like Christmas.
I always liked to be with my family, to hear what was happening to all of the wonderful and wacky girls and boy, and James and Kathy delighted in telling me.
This time they are not here.
I shall eat my chicken,drink my wine, yell at the Worthless Ones and eventually go to bed and wake up to yet another day.
Merry Christmas to all
Love and kind thoughts
Me.

There is a saying in danish: Livet er ikke det værste man har. Translated some like: Life is not the worst thing you've got! Keep up the good spirit, there are always some for whome it is whorse. Just about 3 danish family's who resently lost a member in Afghanistan. Live is still worth living - I think.
Mery Christmas.
Christmas spent with Chuck and you are some of my favorite times/memories. It's sad to know your house isn't all glammed up for the holidays, it was always magical during Christmas. Maybe you should fly up to the cold, dark NorthWest for a Christmas, Kris and I both "over" decorate our homes. And I almost always have cheap red wine to drink!! Potty trained mutts welcome!..miss you
