So that was christmas.

I hope you have all had a happy and a safe one. Now there’s a whole year until it’s that time of year again.

Mine was quite okay. It did not start too well, though. I almost had to cancel because I was still having stomach problems. I thought I would have to spend christmas on the loo. But I ended up going after all.

I wasn’t in the best of christmas moods at first. The stomach trouble, nothing to eat all day, and of course the missing eyesight. I did get to step in a little bit of snow. From the curb to the cab. That was nice. Other than that there is a bit of a helpless feeling of being ferried about, and then at dinner having to be helped with everything. And not being able to see the faces of the people around you. I was feeling somewhat sad at first. But it got better. The food was really good and it was nice just to sit there and be part of the family again. I’m glad I ended up going, it did cheer me up in the end. I didn’t do so much talking of course, that’s how I am. But it’s nice to just listen and feel at home. And I did contribute to the mathematical yahtzee discussion. Hah.

But it was pretty much christmas like I want it, simple and quiet and not more than I can handle.

We didn’t do so much in the way of presents this year, but I did get the Lost season 5 box (paying some of it myself) and some leg warmers that may make goat visits more comfortable, if they work like advertised.

So it turned out to be a nice little christmas after all. Perhaps it wasn’t the best idea to eat so much of the lovely dinner, though. My stomach is still not doing so well. A little simple, bland food would probably have been better for it. But oh well. I’d do it all again if I had the chance.

By the way, this is the first christmas in as long as I can remember where I haven’t watched any Scrooged on the telly. I did zap by it on christmas eve, but didn’t watch any. I kinda regret that now. It’s a christmas tradition that I watch at least a little bit of it. Maybe I can still catch it during the holy-days. It’s always on a lot on various different channels.

Ho ho ho.

It is the day before the day. Christmas is almost here.

In Denmark we celebrate on the 24th of course, you all remember that I am sure. As previously mentioned I shall be celebrating with the family. Nothing fancy, just a little food and presents and that’ll be that.

It turns out that uncle Jens won’t be coming by car. Apparently it is malfunctioning. And also the weather has been atrocious. Big snowstorms. So he won’t be driving me. But I’ll be taking a taxi instead. It seems a little wasteful for a 30 minute walk. But in the snow in the dark I am not worth much these days.

Other than that I am sure it will all be good fun. I am a little worried aobut my stomach though. I have had constipation problems again. And yesterday I was going to start taking medication for it. Then I got diarrhea. So it seems I’m either not going to the bathroom at all or going all the time. But we’ll see how I feel tomorrow. Christmas dinner is the biggest meal of the year. It could get explosive…. nuff said.

I hope you’re all going to have a nice holiday and a happy christmas with your loved ones, and some festivus for the rest of us. Have fun.

PS. I just saw Jason Segel performing the full version of Dracula’s Lament on Craig Ferguson’s show. So now I am happy. It is the best vampire puppet song I have ever heard.
