Everything Christmas

I can't believe it's already Christmas Eve. The year flew by so quickly.

This would have been our 38th Christmas... Only two were spent away from home. One year, at Mother's request, we spent a difficult one at sibling's house.

The next one away, was a thorough bowl of fun, where we let our hair down. Doing cross-country skiing during the 3 days we had this luxurious room at a fancy hotel.

It was £100 less than the normal £165 a night and these prices were pre-1989. We felt like royalty. Room-service was included in the price as well as a super king-size bed 72x72. As we had 3 nights, we slept on the left side, first night, middle, second and in right side for last.

The only things not included was reservation for two at the rotating restaurant and the mini-bar was taken away. However, our butler, yes the one who provided Room-service and taking care of us, brought us wonderful wines.

It was a magical experience and we celebrated Christmas exchanges and Hogmanay on our return. It was the last major trip away for us, the following year, we had our first munchkin and Christmas took a whole new level of fun and craziness. Sadly, we've had those skis stolen from us during a move, must admit, I miss that sport. It gave us one great cardio and a barrel of laughs, falls and all.

Regardless, we've got most of what's required for the current holidays but we need to go out for supplies between Christmas and Hogmanay.

2022 was supposed to be an angelic one but it turned out to be our most trying.

At least we know that our missing family members, the dear ones and loved ones will be here in spirits.

Blessed be!
