We’ve spent almost an entire week in Idaho, mostly relaxing indoors due to the cold temps and snowy/slushy/icy roads. This was only the second Christmas in my 26 years that I didn’t get to spend with my family (the other time was in high school when I went skiing with my friend Catherine), so it was a little sad for me being away from my childhood home.
Thankfully, I have a wonderful new—although small—family who are just a short flight away from Seattle. Christmas was a bit weird for me, just the four of us (well, eight of us, if you include one aunt and three cats). I’m used to having multiple Christmas gatherings with no less than 30 people in attendance, always being assigned to sit at the ‘kids table’.
This year was cozy. And quiet.
Not worse. Not better. Just something different.
And very snowy.
We’re flying back home to Seattle tomorrow. I’ll be glad to get back. I can only live away from my normal routine and out of a suitcase for so long. Plus, we have a rockin’ New Year’s party to attend.
I’ll probably be blogless for the rest of this year, so A Very Happy 2009 to all my readers!
