Can We Talk 2

Eve of Christmas Eve

         It's a quiet and cold night. All my gifts are wrapped, although I am short two. There is no where to shop at this late date and I don't know what to get them anyway.

         Dinner is under control. I'm not expecting company until 2 pm Wednesday. Tomorrow, I go to church for a low key candlelight service. I will open a can of soup afterwards and get everything ready to cook the next morning. It's a simple menu, since one family will going to brunch first.

         I fixed a batch of fudge for some reason. It doesn't look like it will truly harden, I'll check in the morning.

         I didn't over-decorate this year. It seems like such a waste when I don't get that much company any more. And my health just interferes too much. But I intend to have a good holiday, and be as cheerful as I am normally. I'm a positive thinker. I know that Christmas is not about getting or entertaining, but it's a reminder, like Scrooge said after redemption, to keep every day as though it were Christmas.
