1. What's one thing you want to get done before the calendar flips to a new year?
Improve my health (but how ?) and finally start my new life as a widow and enjoy life again.
2. What's something that brought a smile to your face this year?
A lot, because the sadder I am, the more I seem happy and funny and laugh all the time
3. What do you like on a cracker? Do you have a favorite cracker variety?
It's fun ! Especially the pieces of paper that lie inside and predict the future.
4. Do you have plans for ringing in the new year in a fun or special way? Are you typically awake at midnight on the last day of the year?
We, and now I try to wait until midnight, watch the fireworks if there are some. We always used to celebrate with friends and it was always very funny.
This year I don't know, probably I will buy some salmon or sushi and a bottle of champagne (without alcohol) and watch a movie. Maybe others will join me.
5. What are three words that describe your 2024?
Ups, downs, lost
6. Insert your own random thought here.
This year during the Christmas season. I think about all the Christmases I have celebrated during my life. I think the best were those in England. We celebrated the first years of our marriage with my parents, but I have very bad memories of that. When they had passed away, we changed the way we celebrated and it became fun. And now ? I don't care, I just want this time to be over as quickly as possible. Despite that I decorated my room and it looks very cozy and even though I was sick, I found all the presents and they arrived on time.
Rosie is a bit surprised she had never seen a mouse like that !
The holiday season can be difficult when one is grieving or dealing with a lot of changes in life. I hope your holiday holds some happy surprises and enjoyment for you.
ReplyDeleteChristmas is difficult for so many. I wish there was not so much emphasis on having a good time, because those who aren't having a good time feel even more isolated. It is one day in the year and the original meaning of Christmas was lost for most people long ago.
