merry christmas - and to all a good night

so i am getting ready for bed and to close my eyes and fall asleep - closing another christmas. it was a small christmas by others standards but average sized for my family. we all (all of 5 people) met in Florida for a few days of sun, family time and gift-giving.

for as much as i love christmas - i am ok with it ending. not because of the "all good things must come to an end" kinda thing - but more - it's so good i look forward to doing it better / differently next year.

perhaps next year i'll be on a beach in mexico. or in my home for a change.

where will i be next year? who will be with me at christmas? friends? family?

i always get introspective at christmas - this year is no exception...

i hope everyone had a happy holiday!
