I wrote an entire blog - and deleted it. I didn't want to offend anyone or come off too selfish.
26 hours (and counting) until Christmas.
I have never spent a Christmas Eve or Day (24 years) without my grandma - this will be the first.
The Muppet Christmas Carol is still my favorite movie. (Even when family members talk throughout the entire thing.)
I grasp bits and pieces of that Christmas spirit here and there, but it just doesn't seem to want to stay with me this year.
Smile on the best of days - and the worst.
"It's in the singing of the street corner choir
It's going home and getting warm by the fire
It's true wherever you find love
It feels like Christmas
It is the season of the spirit,
The message if you hear it
Is make it last all year
It feels like Christmas"
