So glad the Holidays are behind me!

Stressful time of year. Last night I was happy to retire early to my bedroom with a mug of ice cream and a good movie on deck. Managed to stay sober the entire time. Another holiday season under my belt!

How did everyone else do?

Another one in the sober books.
Pat yourself on the back.

Thanksgiving is the best. A full belly with everyone happy. Christmas is fun with gifts especially the kids. New years was awesome. Had a party at my home followed by a new years breakfast at another home (same 16 people) capped off with a pork and sauerkraut meal for dinner at another home (same people). Probably the most fun of the 3 holidays. Today relaxing.

I’m glad to get them all over with in two months’ time. Then the rest of the year I can relax and don’t have to worry about preparing big meals, keeping the house clean, and buying presents. Not that I go to a lot of fuss, but it’s still more work and planning than I like to do, since I’m basically a lazy person.

She hates fireworks, and since we live between two tribal reservations, there is an ample supply of loud fireworks. I kept her "safe".
