I'm so terrible at holiday things. I never do cards, and even when there's money to be spent (which this year as most of you know, there wasn't. Alan and I... our gift to each other this year was paying the huge heating bill, but that's a story for another day)... Even when there's money to be spent, gifts never arrive on time. I forget birthdays, not because I don't care, or don't care enough to remember, but simply because I'm one of those people... I'm a Shiny.
Even knowing that I couldn't afford to do anything until later on, after the holidays, so many of my online friends sent gifts. Some home-made, which are so very treasured, and some not... which are treasured just the same. We didn't buy presents for family this year, either, though our family bought us a set of dishes and silverware.
No more green plastic cutlery. We're moving up in the world.
I guess what it comes down to is I love you guys. Thank you, Sue, Frankie, Dae, Bria, Silvia, and Franzi. You guys made the holidays this year. I would give you all the world if I could, and there will be a someday, I promise. Knowing how horribly forgetful I am, if I missed someone, you are no less thought of, I adore you, too.
Thank you, thank you.
Happiest of holidays to all of you.
