Going to see what decorations I can get my hands on, try and make the house festive. I've got a few up now. Christmas baking. Midnight mass Christmas Eve, and there's a church group who's doing some trips to the children's ward at one of the hospitals downtown. They're bringing in a Santa, handing out presents, singing, playing games with the kids. It's tomorrow, and I contact the volunteers saying I was new in town, I think they might let me.
It doesn't feel the same as it use to, before it all went to hell, it probably never will, but I figure if I'm lucky enough to be here with people I love, I have a pretty good reason to be thankful and to celebrate that. That's more than others get.
