Am just sitting down again today in the twilight. I think this is going to be the nicest Christmas eve here ever, as I seem to remember as a child, my old man coming home from the bar, with his pick up, and then we immediately piling into the car which was not allowed to warm up, and for 2 miles my shivering and shaking in our Church clothes.
I have no idea why I love Christmas eve most, as we were Lutherans and had to endure 3 weeks of bitchy mothers, doing Christmas program practice, had to suffer through that program, and we got for it a pretty good Delicious apple, and a bag of thousand year old dusty peanuts in the shell with those awful hard candies, which were jelly filled with some horrid goo and those dreaded spice candy clove things in a ribbon.
Then we would file over to Auntie's house and watch them open their gifts, until about 11 and then to home we would go and open our gifts about midnight. I recall mostly Charlie Brown trees that if you touched them the needles dropped like a shower of needles, and shitty ornaments as the old man was not spending money on things like that when booze was his decoration.
Christmas was always a let down. Usually at Grandmas or at that fat ass Aunt who took over, where you sat bored all day, waiting to go home.
Christmas eve though was special and it still makes me smile even if I no longer care for presents or anything to do with Christmas. It is memories of feelings of something hopeful.........there's always tomorrow for dreams to come true. My dreams never did come true, and now it is a life that I'm just doing what God Wills and waiting for the exit or waiting for the Main Attraction to appear again.
God is good in His gifts in the weather is nicer, the hay got hauled so we have feed for the animals, things are turning out for what needs to be done, and we got to town to pick up chicken feed and whatever as we bake lasagna tomorrow, did the English pudding to suffer through, make whipped cream and I think I will do the George and Martha Washington pumpkin for a vegetable or else it will rot, and I do like that dish......and we have jellied cranberries.
So I hope all of you do have a nice Christmas, as I try not to remember what made me feel good as a kid, or I will frown about things now. Life is more making of it what you have in God and accepting the good and just moving on to a new day, where it is better than the last.
I did not see many people happy today at all about Christmas. No joy in any of it, it seemed, as we were the ones smiling the most with the least to smile about compared to the wonderful rich people. The Bible never promises happy, just joy, so I will keep the joy of Christmas past, for the joy of Christmas present in the joy of knowing Christmas future with Christ is going to be the one which the one I always wanted.
