Journal Kymermosst's Journal: Bah! Humbug! 3

Somebody had to say it. Might as well be me. :-)

The weather put a wrench in our normal plans to involving an annual trip to see family, so my wife, daughter, and I will be celebrating Christmas by ourselves. Having counted on being able to travel and do presents elsewhere, the house is almost undecorated and opening presents will take about 30 seconds. It's not exactly the kind of Christmas I want to give to my family. Normally we count on the fun Christmas atmosphere with relatives. Instead, I was scrambling yesterday to buy a tree and other such things that I hadn't planned on doing, as I at least wanted my wife and daughter to have something.

Then again, I am still employed, the house is warm, and we have plenty to eat, so perhaps not much "Bah! Humbug" in it after all.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

  • I hope the day turns out very well. Perhaps it will be more memorable, for being different.

  • So, yeah, we're stuck at home, too! We had bought a little tree at Home Depot earlier, but that's about the extent of our decorations. Have a merry one all the same;-)
    • Wonder if you and I bought the same tree?

      This is our first artificial tree. Got it for $80 at Home Depot... ended up looking real nice after I replaced a DOA light strand.

      Looks like we'll end up in the Bend area ourselved next week provided the weather cooperates.
