A Quiet Christmas
Since Jimmy has been out of town building a house for his niece and her husband, it has been quiet around here. Putting up a tree and Christmas decorations seemed like too much this year since I was the only one here to enjoy them. At the last minute, my grandchildren came to stay for 3 days. Then I was sorry the tree wasn't up. Next year I'll try to be more festive. I don't want to be like so many "old" people and just get out the ceramic Christmas tree and plug it in! I missed the Bubba Tree...and the Living Room tree with the ornaments from my childhood and special things collected for over 40 years. I did do a fair share of baking including the old family recipe for Applesauce Cake and mailed all the gifts in time for them to arrive before Christmas. So all is not lost. But next year will be different!
