After all the work of Thanksgiving dinner last month, I decided to make Christmas a bit easier. Today I'll make stuffed shells and put them in the fridge. Tomorrow I'll make breadsticks and roast some vegetables. So easy.

Thanksgiving is all about the turkey. Mostly the stuffing. That was cooked inside the turkey.

Christmas can be anything. So I chose something fairly easy.

Last year my daughter-in-law cooked Christmas dinner. At first I was sad. Then I realized I could do that every year.

It's quite cold in the apartment and only 12 degrees F outside.

The alarm rang at 5:40 this morning. I turned off the alarm and crawled back into bed, where I cuddle4d with Thatch and Annabelle. When I woke, it was 7:00. so I am about an hour behind my usual schedule.

Last night we watched Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont. What a gentle and touching film. I cried like a baby at the end.

Tonight I shall be dining at my cousin Debra's (unless something happens before then to change our plans).

I am expecting most esculent chili!

A week from today, my cousin Butch, his fiancee Sharon, and I shall be dining festively at the Pine Ridge Country Club's New Year's Eve feast.

My dinner will be Caesar Salad, Filet Mignon, a vegetable "medley", and Tiramisu.

We will each pay an arm and a leg, I presume, for the meal.

But, it's New Years Eve, and we will dine early and be home early. No massive crowds, drunken revelry and seeing the ball drop for us, thanks!!

Been there, done that, over it.

It is currently 11 degrees in Johnston SC.

Today's high is expected to soar to 21.

I have quite a few things to do today, including making sure my car and truck will start.

Haven't decided which I will drive this afternoon but am hoping each will be an option.

May I reflect for a moment? This season just isn't the same since my mom and aunt passed away.

It was rough after my mom died in 2018, but we had the family gathering, as always, across the street at my aunt's on Christmas day.

Last year, Christmas was very low key, but we still gathered at that house because my uncle was still there and his children, grandchildren and friends wanted to make sure he had a good Christmas.

Time is cruel. My uncle passed in February (three months after my aunt passed). My cousin Debra is determined to continue a tradition at her house on Christmas eve, but her husband is likely spending his last Christmas on earth and these family traditions are, again, being adjusted and will likely be done away with. New ones will take their place, of course, but memories will crowd out festive tradtions.

Oh, well. I am not particularly overwrought with emotion about any of this. I simply feel time moving along, more rapidly now than in the past.

Color me amazed that Bruce and I agree completely on "Glass Onion."

My original impression of Kate Hudson is the one he described. She seems to be giving the performance she believed her mother would have given, but Goldie would have been utterly charming and delightful, whereas Kate is just...MEH!

All of y'all have a wonderful day.

I shall likely return later this evening to read all the "do" comments. I may even have an update on my day, but I make no promises.

Laura · « **Reply #23 on:** December 24, 2022, 05:58:25 AM »

Ron, I always enjoyed your travelogues about traveling home for the holidays and celebrating with Cousin Deb.

Laura · « **Reply #24 on:** December 24, 2022, 06:00:03 AM »

My mom died many years ago. I took over holiday cooking. There were only the four of us. Then five. Now there are six of us. It's strange sometimes to realize that I am the grandma now.
