I always have the ridiculous fantasy of Christmas being "just like the ones I used to know". The smell of baking cookies... snow softly falling... wrapping those last few presents... the family all together and cheerful... My Christmas has never turned out that way, and yet I still expect it every year. Has anyone's Christmas EVER been that way? I don't think so. I'm always hoping- no, honestly believing- I will have a Martha Stewart Christmas ...and I always get a "National Lampoon Christmas Vacation".
This year brought a jaunt with a tow-truck and a rum bottle. Ok, and a few real Christmas miracles. (I lost track of a few debit-card purchases & knew my account was low... when I deposited my checks today, I was only 20 cents away from an overdraft! If that isn't a miracle, I don't know what is!)
Cheers to the holidays.
