Ever since I entered the working world after college, I have tried to take the week between Christmas and New Years off. For me, it’s a great time to recharge my batteries from the holidays and get myself mentally prepared to meet the challenges of a new year. Though I’m presently unemployed, my brain and body seem to have gone on vacation by force of habit. I haven’t had the energy to do much of anything productive, hence the lack of posting.
We did have a great Christmas. My nephews were their usual balls of festive energy. And even after Santa left them their presents, they seemed determined to stay on the “nice list” – Christmas day was devoid of the customary fights over who gets to use the new toys first, whose turn it is, etc, etc. I’ll admit to having a few melancholy moments missing my parents, but every year gets easier and it was truly wonderful spending the holiday with my sister and her family.
Another quasi-tradition we got to enjoy was a visit from one of my closest friends and her husband who were passing through the area on their way home from visiting her family. The only thing better than one of your closest friends finding that one person they want to share their life with is having that person be someone who absolutely connects with you and your significant other. Is there really anything more magical than meeting a couple you and your husband both adore? Okay, there are probably a few things, but if you have experienced it, you know what I mean. I’ve been very lucky to have this kind of foursome connection with a few of my close friends and their significant others. Seriously, the rockin’ babes in my life have some kickass taste in men.
Our New Years Eve will likely be a quiet one due to husband coming down with a vicious sinus infection – I’ve never seen him so ill. New Years Day we’ll spend with his family. Then I need to get my brain and body back from vacation and get moving on making 2008 a productive year.
