I think it was two years ago I ended up in the emergency room with a 104 degree fever on Christmas eve and let me just say that you OT'ers kept me company while dealing with the Walmart of the medical world.
I would like to remind everyone like I have done the past two years that if you struggle with the season and its meaning that in France 111 years ago young men who were killing each other the day before decided to lay down their arms for a day to exchange gifts and play games. Regardless if you believe something happened in a manger 2000 years ago. Those young men deserve to be celebrated
Shaping up to be a quiet Christmas Eve & Day, and I’m frankly not too shook up about it.
A little miffed that it seems like the personal holiday spirit has been minimal across all major late-year holidays (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas), but at the same time I really cannot complain about some time to myself.
Right now the gameplan is to go walk/fish a bit (because it’s supposed to be 75 or so out), make some calls to folks that aren’t in driving radius, and perhaps split time between reading & gaming.
Sounds like a lovely day. I've done more on these days to be memorable, otherwise life can feel like a blur but there are a lot of ways to celebrate these holidays.
The Kid is already asleep and Santa has put out gifts/stockings and is in bed too! And yes, kid is 20something years old but humors me with the Santa stuff. Kinda hard to get into the spirit when it’s 71 out but we managed to do a few fun things this week.
And Santa Tracker is manned by volunteers and services are donated so not costing us much. I kinda like it. The music this year is great and the games are fun!

Ain't nothing wrong with a quiet reading day, make yourself something good and dive into a novel

What actually happens 🤷♂️ we shall see
That is a good day
That sounds like a nice day! Enjoy!

Better that than so many things they’re spending money on right now
