I feel it in my fingers I feel it in my toes, Christmas is all around me and so the feeling grows

Shawshank, December 25, 2023

Good morning my friends. It’s Christmas Day here, and what Christmas presents have arrived, have been opened. I got a kick ass pair of gloves for work, my digits will totes be warm! I got Crystal something that she said she liked in passing, and she loved it, I think.

This morning I tried to buy White Christmas on Amazon, but I don’t think it worked it’s been a while since I’ve bought something online, it’s supposed to be instant right? I ended up purchasing it on YouTube. Instant. We’re watching it now. And of course, I’m (and I’m sure Crystal is a little) emotional. For Crystal, it’s big sweeping visuals and beautiful music, for me – Christmas. I always get emotional when it’s just me and Crystal.

Today will be an action packed day. First stop is at the Lodge to have lunch with Gramma, and to place a FaceTime call to my aunt and uncle in Florida. That should be fun. Then back to the Flat for a little bit, then to Shady Acres for Christmas dinner. I have to wonder if my dad will put on National Lampoons Christmas Vacation when we get there. We’ll exchange some presents. The bulk of the presents will arrive a couple of days. It was just timing, and my pay check. I’ll do better.

The Beautiful One isn’t feeling well this morning. She sacrificed her well-being to let me sleep in. She had to deal with a hyper-active Podrick, so I could rest. Now it’s my turn to take care of her. I don’t know when she got out of bed. Even when I…
