Merry Christmas To All and To All a Good Night!

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, everyone was sleeping, except for my mother downstairs... and me. 

I have to say it feels damn good to be back down in the South for Christmas. I wore flip-flops today and I think the high was about 65 or so. Glorious. Especially after trudging around in the snow for the past week. It is a change of scenery and I love it. I am starting to think that Seasonal Affective Disorder truly does exist and truly does affect me, and it is SAD. 

But Christmas is a great time of year and I am so happy that my whole family can be together. It's a great feeling! All my nieces and nephews running around crazy and playing with them reminds me that life is so special. They remind me how important it is to not take life or yourself too seriously. 

So, I'm staying up to wait for Santa and his reindeer. I asked a friend at Mass today if he was going to leave cookies for Santa, and he said no because Santa is a diabetic. Don't worry though, solution: sugar-free gum! 

Ho, HO, Ho

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
