Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night....

So Christmas this year feels a little strange... just cause of work and stuff I was a little delayed getting into the Christmas spirit and then all of a sudden bang its Christmas Eve. Considering I couldn't even find the time to commit daily to my advent calendar its a little sudden. But I think its definitely still going to be the best Christmas ever.

I finally made it home today after being stranded in Guelph with Brian. Stranded probably isn't the right word cause it implies that I didn't like it - and really the extra time with the boy was nice and quite possibly exactly what I needed. Definitely the greatest gift I have is the knowing that we are together and in the words of someone really really S-M-R-T its "for real, for real". Never would have thought this time last year that this is where my life would end up. But it did and I am so happy. So its definitely a Merry Christmas.

And tonight was good - finally getting to be with my family. Its great seeing how good my Grandpa looks, and how less stressed everyone is. It felt like old times with no dark cloud hanging over us, or even the crazy insane joy of Thanksgiving - as great as that feeling was its nice to just have things back to normal. And by normal I mean normal for our family - which is actually a very scary place filled with loudness and wine and dancing... dear God the dancing.

Best of all - I get a few days without work phone calls before being thrown back into it.

Santa has definitely already been good to me. Really there is nothing else that I could ask for, except to have some people that I am missing a bit closer to me right now. But you're here in my heart (sigh for the cheesiness of it all). So to sum it all up and call it a night... I am so happy. I am so happy with everything that I have. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. My life is filled with so much love and happiness which is exactly how its supposed to be at Christmastime.

I'm sorry for the cheesiness... I figured it might be a nice break from my usual rant. If it would make you feel better I can follow it up with a rant about living in Canada and getting two feet of snow and the shovelling that follows. (By the way I am accepting donations for massage therapy.)
