Now there&#8217;s a whole year until it&#8217;s that time of year again.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;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&#8217;m glad I ended up going, it did cheer me up in the end. I didn&#8217;t do so much talking of course, that&#8217;s how I am. But it&#8217;s nice to just listen and feel at home. And I did contribute to the mathematical yahtzee discussion. Hah.<\/p>\n<p>But it was pretty much christmas like I want it, simple and quiet and not more than I can handle. <\/p>\n<p>We didn&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>So it turned out to be a nice little christmas after all. Perhaps it wasn&#8217;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&#8217;d do it all again if I had the chance.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, this is the first christmas in as long as I can remember where I haven&#8217;t watched any Scrooged on the telly. I did zap by it on christmas eve, but didn&#8217;t watch any. I kinda regret that now. It&#8217;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&#8217;s always on a lot on various different channels. <\/p>\n<p>Ho ho ho.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So that was christmas.
