Daughters One and also Two are celebrating the holiday at One's place in Florida this year, which of course means that Mary and I find ourselves alone together on Christmas Eve.
For the first time in twenty-seven years.
Eating popcorn. Watching Elf. And we'll be in bed early, not because I have to be up early to be ready with the camera but merely because we are tired and want to get some sleep.
It's a whole new paradigm. I don't know quite how to take it.
What I do know is that I have a better family than I deserve and some wonderful friends, many of whom will read these words. So let me just say this about that:
I love you all. Thanks for reading my drivel. And I hope in the new year not to disappoint.
Merry Christmas, Happy Channukah, Happy Holiday to each and all of you!
