Every year it seems that the distance between Christmases gets shorter and shorter. I recall last year's Christmas the best because it was an odd one......no family...just me and Marius...in Florida. We spent the week prior to Christmas packing our life (yet again)...and spent Christmas eve and Christmas night sleeping on a inflatable mattress in our living room...surrounded by a few boxes...with a big UHaul in front of our house...waiting for the long drive back home to Canada. No Christmas tree...no lights...no wreaths or other decorations....no presents under the tree...just us...and the the thought of what Christmas is really like without all the craziness around it. And it really was peaceful...and full of joy! This year...a bit different...although still living away from home...we are somewhat closer than Florida (I think everything is closer than Florida!!!) so we're able to be home for the holidays...with the people we love...our family (at least half of it!!). I keep thinking how when you're growing up, you mostly want to run away from your parents...spend the holidays with friends...away from any parental supervision...yet when you grow up and move away from them...you cannot wait for the time to come back home...where you feel SAFE...at ease.
I am trully blessed to have amazing parents who would do anything for us (and do everything for us)...and I am blessed to have an amazing husband who loves me more than anything...more than himself...and I know I don't deserve it...but I am also blessed with awesome friends...the few I have, are definetly all I need and want!
So to all of you out there...hope you have an amazing Holiday Season...a Merry Christmas and very Blessed and Happy New Year!!!!
