So, I've been all sorts of festive leading up to the holidays. Santa cap or elfcap on almpst every day at work, decorating the tree and the house, bought a real holly sappling for the entryway window and a false holly garland which I turned into a holly crown for the the day before and the day of the Winter Solstice. Wished all of the people who came past any register I jumped on to help check a "Happy Holly Day" , "Happy Solstice" or a "Cool Yule". On Solstice night I tried to keep my energy burning bright and let it reach out to light up others.
The household here celebrated a drawn out Christmas. The little one had a bit of Christmas with her "Mamaw" (Her maternal Grandmother") and Aunt. But most of her Christmas was with our group in the morning. Then there was a second set of present openning at said Grandmother's house when we all drifted over there for Christmas Dinner. Lady Lovely cooked a ham, Lord Lovely made sure we brought drinks. And I brought my one mostly innocent, not really violent and best of all COMPLETE manga series (Wish by CLAMP) over as a loan to the High School-aged Aunt.
My mother, my brother, and my brother from other parents all called and talked my ear off. Though I admit to being a bit snippy with my older brother as he'd already called and talked my ear of not two nights previous and I was exhausted and cranky. But all in all, this was a pretty good Winter holiday... even if I can't help rememberring bad events of Christmasses past.
