I wrote a nice long post about my feelings about this holiday season, but after the catharsis I deleted it. It was far too personal and well, too much of a downer to inflict on y'all for the holidays.
So.
It's now officially Christmas by my clock, and may I be the first to wish my friends a very happy day.
May you find everything you need, and a few things you want, during the day.
May you be able to enjoy your family, no matter their quirks and foibles; and if not, may you find yourself in the company of friends to bitch about it later.
May you be able to laugh with children, play, and remember what it was like to believe.
Raise a glass to those who cannot be present, and remember with joy those who are no longer with us. Shed tears, but let them be bittersweet and not sorrowful.
Enjoy.
Remember that while change is inevitable, it doesn't have to completely suck. If old traditions are no longer available or are too painful, make new ones. Nothing is written in stone.
I wish all of these things for you, and more.
