I decided to brave it and we went over to Mom’s house tonight to make Christmas cookies. I am so exhausted. My back is super hurting right now but I am going to take it as easy as possible for the rest of the night. We’re probably going to watch a movie and just hang out tonight.  I can’t believe Christmas Eve is tomorrow! I’m just wondering where exactly December went??

I’ll post some pictures on my Flickr of the Christmas cookies sometime soon. I may just wait until we open gifts tomorrow evening and then post our Christmas pictures all at once.  Tonight I really had my Grandma on the mind. Was really thinking of her at home with my Grandpa, alone. I feel for both of them and my heart aches for them. I hope she is feeling okay. She always tells me to pray for her. And even though I am not religious and I have lots of “questions” in my head as far as organized religion goes, I still try to make it a point to say a silent “prayer” in my head every night. I may not know who I’m talking to every night or if anyone can actually “hear” it or not, but she wants me to pray and I’ll do anything she wants. She deserves that much.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday. No matter how you celebrate it, I hope it is filled with loved ones nearby and lots of laughter and smiles and love.
