Last Christmas I Gave You My Heart.

So, today I had my Christmas. In attendance was, Eric (Brother), Ori (Nephew), Aunt Hope, Roger (Hope's Husband), Pa Jim, Granny Dot, LeeAnn and Marie (Cousins), and Mom and Dad. Usually, these types of things are annoying, and often Frustrating. However, for some reason today was different. I got along with everyone and wasn't annoyed or angry with anyone really. It was actually enjoyable which says a lot. Eric and I are staying at my grandparent's house, and we had a really nice long, respectable chat with my grandma which doesn't happen that often. Usually it's superficial and not deep or heart felt, but tonight was a different story. I guess it just shows that Eric and I are maturing after all.
Also, this year wasn't about any presents for me. I didn't care what I did or did not get. It was nice to get presents but to be honest I couldn't have cared less.
Tomorrow Eric and I are planning on going to Carbondale to take Ori home to his momma (him misses her). Then, turn around pretty much and go back to Ramsey assuming the roads are safe to travel.

However, It's quite late, so I'm off to bed. I hope that you all have a great holiday and have as good a time as I did today. Be safe with traveling, and really get to know your family on a personal level rather than the roles they've assumed. They are individuals and have their own stories. Something neat to think about. Goodnight all, and Merry Christmas. :D
