Happy Holiday Season!

Well, we had a joyous last day of school before our two week winter recess, and the kids actually left the building singing … all on their own without any prompting! LOL

It’s on to the staff party and on to two joyous weeks off! It is important to me that you all enjoy this time of year in whatever way that you choose and that makes you happy, so I ardently hope you do!

Love you guys! :heartbeat:

Love you back.

We are having a party at Dialysis center. Boy, what fun!!

Some kids caroled down the hallway. That was cute.

Not interested in the goodies/treats. But there is a happy vibe.

Happy Christmas all!:star_struck:

I just signed off my computer and am officially on break for two weeks! I’ve never done this before.

I use the term “break” loosely. My days booked up pretty fast with stuff I have to do. There will be time to relax, right?

Right?

I’m hoping for at least one day to check out Clair Obscur. My uncle bought it for me several months ago and keeps nagging me to play it.

One thing I’d like to do for Christmas is make cookies with the boy. Maybe the 24th.

I also have to make chili Monday for a holiday party for my writers group. We usually have one, but this one will be sad, because we lost a member on Thanksgiving Day. I’m planning to read bad poetry in his honor (he hated poetry) and we’re exchanging books he might have liked. His widow may or may not attend. Expect crying. And chili.

I appreciate your “Happy Holiday Season” greeting since not everyone celebrates Christmas. For me, the only holiday I celebrate in December is the Winter Solstice, which this year is on Sunday, Dec 21. Imagine the relief ancient people felt in the Neolithic period (around 10,200 BC) when they first realized the days would not grow any shorter. It would definitely have been something worth celebrating.

I will celebrate in my own quiet way when it’s all over.

But I wish all good things to those who enjoy this time of year.

I’m definitely celebrating! I hate driving in the dark.
