Here we are, Christmas morning already.
Today I don't have to work.
Today I am relaxing.
Today is a day just for me and Bill.
No presents under the Christmas tree, in fact we don't even have a Christmas tree other than several ceramic trees. But still, we always enjoy the quiet and solitude of Christmas Day. Two old men at home, no screaming kids running around. All is quiet, just the way we like it.
Tomorrow I will return to work. Not quite back to the regular grind because all of my favorite TV shows are on hiatus, reviewing the "Best Of" the previous year. I hate these "Best Of" program fillers so I tend not to even turn on the TV.
Now is the time to just relax, and get ready for the new year. And for me I'll be getting ready for my next trip which is in February. Two glorious weeks in sunny, warm (except for the evenings which sometimes there is the chill) Palm Springs.
While I love our quarterly trips, I have to admit my body is having a more difficult time keeping up with our adventures. But I'm going to keep on keeping on. At least this trip to Philly I didn't fall. Couple of close calls but I was very careful.
Now to catch up on my mail that accumulated last week and to just relax. So nice to be home again. That's another wonderful benefit of trips. Nice to get away and break the routine but also nice to get home.
Have a wonderful Christmas Day everyone!
