It seems different every year, but
this Christmas really seemed to creep up on me, most likely because there is so
much going on. We have been running around with hockey and other assorted
activities, which all wound down this past week, coupled with getting things
together for the holidays. I made a concerted effort not to be cynical and
grumpy about all the responsibilities and to just go with the flow, and for the
most part, I think I succeeded, though this blog suffered. Then again, if
that’s the main casualty of the holidays, it’s not such a bad thing.
It was quite a mad dash to the
finish line this year, and again, it’s all because of hockey. It takes so much
time just getting to games and practices. Factor in helping coach, writing the
game summaries, and being the scheduler, and it’s nothing short of insanity.
That’s the way we like it, right?
I managed to get all of my
Christmas cards out by the end of last week, not to mention packages to various
family members. What was interesting and serendipitous was that I used my last
address label and stamp on my last card. Don’t ask me why, but I think that’s
kind of cool, for practical and spiritual reasons.
We had our last hockey game before
Christmas last week, and there will be no practices until next weekend, so the
question becomes, what are we going to do with ourselves? I wouldn’t mind doing
some skiing, and there will be plenty of chance to do some skating, so no
worries.
For now, we’ll just relax and
enjoy the holiday. Merry Christmas to everyone, and thanks for reading, and thanks to mlamprou for the pic.
