'Tis the day before Christmas Eve and tomorrow we'll be celebrating with my father, sister and family plus one son and fiancee. Christmas Day will be the first in our thirty some years of marriage that my husband and I will be alone. Son number one is in New York with his belle amie. Son number two is in San Diego with his. And son number three and his fiancee will be with us in the morning, then spending the day with her family nearby. No big meal, no scented candles, no twinkling lights, no Christmas music, no photographs. As a result, we are treating ourselves to a decadent day of movie viewing.
We go to the movie theatre maybe once a year. But this year, we will be immersing ourselves in the fantasy land of Mission Impossible (definitely), Tintin (maybe), Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (definitely and yes, we saw the original), We Bought a Zoo (also maybe). I figure our knees will be frozen and our bums numb by the time we finish. But what a way to celebrate the day of celebration.
I wish you all a happy Christmas--for those of you who observe Christmas--and a happy holiday for all the rest. It turns out the darkest days of the year may be artificially illuminated, but I am thankful for that all the same!
