Suddenly Single and Sailing through the Season

 

The days after Christmas when all is quiet again. Looking forward to Christmas with great anticipation and planning. Where should I stay? What should I get the boys? Will they like it? I got an electronics set for the younger grandson and he loved it and I got a Panthers Chess Set for my older grandson. My hope was that he would like it enough so that we could spend some quality time playing chess together and maybe I could teach him a few things. Well not only did he love it and we played a few games but he beat me with checkmate twice so it was a great learning experience for both of us.

So much excitement and energy goes into preparing for the holidays and then suddenly it’s all over. So there is a great build up and some degree of let down but for me I feel very fortunate to be so blessed for having family and friends that I love and who love me.
