Holiday Survivor
After all the worry about spending Christmas eve at Granny's, it turned out to be a rather pleasant evening. For once, we weren't arguing or nagging at each other. I think we'd agree that it was one of our friendliest gatherings in ages. (Well, except maybe Barb, who was upset at any mention of her surgery.) Grandma did a great job with the ham and stuffed us full of her various chocolate candies. Uncle Ken brought date-filled cookies made using Great's recipe. When the presents were passed out, everyone seemed happy with their gifts. I really can't remember the last time when Christmas Eve seemed so cheerful and uncomplicated. And here I thought I'd be lucky to survive it without permanent emotional damage.
