Thank god Christmas is over sayeth the lane; Time to move on. Seems like Christmas lasts so much longer than it used to. Christmas now starts in July and not after thanksgiving like it used to. Christmas isn’t about celebrating Christ’s birth like it used to be. Now it’s all about money. It’s the get me season. Shop till you drop and such things. But regardless of what you buy for someone else it’s never quite right. You can see it on their faces and hear it in their voices. Lane says she used to play this game like everyone else but not anymore. It’s crazy. Lane says she only buys for me and her grandson. That’s it. There’s no rushing to the malls for her. Spend, spend, spend; there’s never enough. Christmas is a time for family. Just being happy to have each other alive and well and remembering whose birthday we’re celebrating. Last evening lane and I went to her sister’s house for Christmas Eve dinner. We’ve done this for several years; the whole families there. We eat too much, laugh a lot and enjoy being together. Seems to lane like that should be enough. Lane says she knows it is for her; Merry Christmas and good night.
