We had a fairly quiet Christmas, but today is boxing day and our daughter&son; in law are coming with their four lovely kids. We saw them Christmas eve while mum & dad went shopping for last minute stuff. Ilove having them come over now they are getting older their week ends are taken up by rugby and martial arts.
YES!! Thankfully this is the first year in 4 that we were all in one place! The military has had one or two family members at a time over in the war zone. This year was the FIRST in 4 that we were all in the same place. Plus had a new baby with her mom and dad and one extra from the local Marine Corp base who couldn't get home.
The ONLY bad part of today is that one son who is stationed at the local Marine Corp base, he's a Navy Medic, and he had Brig duty all day today, but he was here Christmas Eve and I got photo's with ALL of my big happy bunch of kiddo's. That was the best gift for me - just having them all here. I loved it last night, they all sat on the living room floor and played board games - and they reminisced and LAUGHED and had the best time. And the best gift of all was the joy I got out of just being in the room watching them interact. :)
just my sweet husband and son, but received some phone calls. We had planned a trip, but we all got sick, so that is life for you. Enjoy the rest of the day.
Turkey, dressing, ham and all the trimmings and a house full of family and it's snowing . What a great day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS and merry Christmas every body
sounds like you are kinds like us, just mt hysband and son as usual. Because of my daughter-on-law dislike for us, my other son and granddaughters stay away on the holidays. So life is what it is and we all make do and carry on. My best to you, and your new dog, luv-luv this Christmas Day.
I am sorry to hear you are alone(no humans) either. It just is not the same without people around on Christmas. We can always count on our pets to keep us company,share our lives and "Luv" us unconditionally. :0) Thanks again for being my sweet friend.
It's ok, use to it. Been a loner most of life. I believe pets treat you better that most humans. So grateful for mine. I'm sorry you are alone, if it bothers you.
