Yesterday I was invited to go to Xavier's and watch the kids open their gifts and hang with the whole gang. I thought about it and I've really come to love spending Christmas Day on my own. And when I think of visiting certain family members, I envision walking in the door and seeing excited faces and smiles, with loved ones leaping to their feet to give me a hug hello. Then I get there and it's usually the opposite of what I was hoping for. Eff it, I thought. So when I woke up at 10:30 yesterday morning, I texted Xave to let him know I would be bowing out. Then I stayed in bed til near one o'clock, knowing that I totally made the right decision. I cooked the Harry and David vegan farfalle meal that Molly and Matt sent me (scrumptious!) and settled in with
The Gathering. After coming down from my pasta overload (
six servings?? More like one.), I scurried on to the rug and tore into my gifties, like the sad-sack spinster I am!
Ended the day re-watching
Stranger Things to catch up on it before seeing the new season
(honestly, since this is maybe my third time seeing seasons one-three, it's not as good as the first viewing. Except season one.) and doing the
Season's Readings puzz!!
