Perfect Christmas Day?
How was your Christmas? If you were hoping for a white Christmas then you got disappointed, unless of course thick white frost on the cars and on the grass first thing in the morning counts!
When I finished work at lunch time on Christmas Eve I was very relaxed. Even took up an invitation for the evening dinner which went really good. After coming back home at 10 pm my Christmas Eve night went all pear shaped. The same miserable mood continued through the Christmas morning.
A surprised phone call changed it all and I started to feel the festive spirit coming on. It does make me very mad that my happiness and sadness so much depend on other people! I would love to change that control back to myself but to be happy by yourself you have to be content and peaceful, don’t you?
What would be your perfect Christmas day someone asked? I said something like “Traditional lunch with family, afternoon walk with the dog, evening drinks with friends and a cosy night in front of the fire with someone special”.
Well two out of four isn’t that bad, is it? One of these two was possible because of you – my lovely friends – so my sincere thanks you.
