Looking Forward To the Holidays Alone with Hubby

I am looking forward to being around family. I get tired of being alone (doctor appointments are prevalent, sure, but don’t help loneliness). So off tomorrow morning, we drive two and a half hours to my sister’s where they’ll open the presents we got them (my present from them was Disneyland). After about an hour and a half, we’ll drive the 30 minutes to the church where my dad’s family meets in Tulsa for our Christmas potluck. I look forward to seeing my aunts, (who need their own reality show). Three hours later, we’ll drive home (I’ll make my poor dad nuts talking), and then Christmas night I’ll watch a horrible football game because Patrick Mahomes tore his ACL last week so his Chiefs (playing tomorrow night), stink. I know you’re glad you asked!

2025 is the year where I can't go anywhere, my parents need my presence.

My daughter and I aren't planning on going anywhere or doing anything special for Christmas. Pretty laid out chicken to thaw and put baking pans and veggies out for me to make today. Apparently, that's what she wants for lunch and supper tonight. I hope you and your hubby have a lovely Christmas Eve and Christmas!

@looeyville Quiet and simple is the way to go. Our Scottish daughter is in Belfast for the week with her boyfriend but not staying with us. We’ll see her for a while today then call with number 1 son and see number 2 son tomorrow for a while. Thankfully our house is too small for entertaining.

We are going over to my sister and brother-in-law's house tonight for dinner. My chiropractor nephew is in town with his girlfriend from Nashville, and we'll have other family there as well. Our actual Christmas gathering will be on the 10th of January at our house.

It's 3 hours to go till Midnight. Once the clock strikes 12:01 am, it's Christmas Day here. Merry Christmas.

We are giving each other gifts of our time. I did not necessarily want to be alone, I would have liked to go to Oklahoma for my brother's church for Christmas Eve services. Our church is so small and out in the country, it does not have Christmas Eve Service. Hubby did not want to go to Guthrie this year to my brother's, so we did not. I have had five medical appointments, plus an extra lab since I got off work at noon on Friday. I wish Bob had his while I am off work but he does not. Today we went to a small zoo, and out to eat at a Chinese Buffet. Bob just barely could handle it. He has not felt well since around Thanksgiving.

It's just my son and I as usual. Its enough Lou. Not going anywhere. Merry Christmas to you and hubs and Oliver.

What am I doing? Nothing! I like quiet holidays.

Il be going to my moms afterwork for a family dinner then home to relax, kids are excited to open their gifts

I hope you, your hubby and Oliver have a wonderful day. Cousin #2 is coming over to make dinner; and then we might watch a movie.
