Thank you for sharing yourself with us. As I've mentioned your openness has been helpful to me especially in my interactions with my daughter. She's noticed and mentioned it to me that I appear to understand her struggles much better. <br /><br />Take care!Maebemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706540456819503068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-44255799076756011442019-12-26T17:55:34.526-05:002019-12-26T17:55:34.526-05:00your day sounds like it was both chaotic, and warm...your day sounds like it was both chaotic, and warming....all rolled into one. Ours was very quiet with just hubby and I and a turkey dinner. Bro couldn't come- he went to his goddaughter's and family for the day. Must mention your chicken salad IS a thing of beauty....as is your entire family, that I have enjoyed so much these past 8 years or so. Not a day goes by that I don't send you a virtual hug for just being you, and sharing YOU with all of us<br />Much love<br />Susan MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-89727694526924329922019-12-26T15:36:16.934-05:002019-12-26T15:36:16.934-05:00Merry Belated Christmas to you and your lovely fam...Merry Belated Christmas to you and your lovely family.

I always enjoy your blog (even if I don't always comment) because it seems like a chance to share a kindly and peaceful world, which is the kind of place that kids ought to be. I hope you all enjoy this Christmas/New Year period, and that 2020 is good to you all!Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-79460819743511926572019-12-26T12:45:57.201-05:002019-12-26T12:45:57.201-05:00Rodney came and brought Ray too.

But his trip without it from his chair to the bathroom just about did him in. But wearing it he didn't cough one time.<br />I made the ham and it turned out really nice, the side dishes not so but all were good just not the best. I'll have to get you to teach me how to make bread better. The rolls were beautiful but dry and didn't have much taste. <br />I made eggnog, not the way mom used to, we don't have either chickens of fresh cow's cream. But my work around turned out well and both Ray and I had some, with some magic poured in. I think it's called Four Roses. Then we played It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. I haven't seen it in a number of years and Ray had never seen it. We laughed really hard.<br />All in all we had a beautiful day, just old men. We had a wonderful time but the kids are the magic of it all.

I cried in the morning because of my middle daughter and I cried in the evening because of my son and then I had a talk with myself and pointed out that many more people in the world have it much worse than me and that I should quit feeling sorry for myself. I actually felt better and slept for twelve hours last night, dreaming of owls. Christmas is over, I no longer have to pretend that I have a normal family, it's a fucked up family. <br /><br />The highlight of my day was visiting Miss Katie yesterday who had a great time. We had lunch with my friend and her little girl; they met Katie for the first time. That was lovely. Not all bad I guess:)<br /><br />I'm glad you got to spend time with your family, even if it was overwhelming. I'm not a fan of crowds either, not even when it's family.<br /><br />Sending love and hugs.My life so farhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16721270441968035994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-408432504397940472019-12-26T09:53:44.517-05:002019-12-26T09:53:44.517-05:00Happy Christmas, Mary!

I can't even begin to describe how it has enriched my life for 10+ years. I read every single day but don't always comment, and that's honestly because many many days I lack words to say what reading a Ms Moon post means.

My elder son messaged me Christmas greetings from Germany. Not feeling melancholy so much as seasonally sad, but the chickadees at the feeder were cheering.

It's good when Christmas is finally at an end, I used to call it the season of unfulfilled expectations.
