Is it Christmas?
As i was cleaning the house, especially the spoiled food that Devon's brings back and then never eats, i took out of the freezer an egg nog we bought in January. i put just a little in my dark rich coffee, it taste so good. But with every sip, i think of Christmas. This year, with our financial situation so troubling, i can only wonder what Christmas will be like. And with Devon's mom staying with us, she's not impressed with any kind of celebration, so we'll keep it very low key. Likely nothing at all.
As i grow older and my health is in question, i long for the days when i went all out to make Christmas special. The house filled with the scent of a tree, the glow of lights, our stockings hung somewhere special, presents waiting under the tree and music filling the house. i guess those days are gone forever, so i'll cherish them in my thoughts.
For now, i'll just enjoy the egg nog and memories.
