My Dad was here and we celebrated my birthday at my favorite restaurant. It was very bittersweet. I hardly ever see my Dad and to be honest 3 hours is not enough. Just makes me miss them more you know? Especially around the holidays. Thanksgiving not as much. Christmas a ton. No matter what our financial situation Christmas(s) in my house were always so cool.
Our house was always decorated and there were tons of cookies around. It was just magical. My family very much believes in gifts with meaning not a high ticket price. So every year we would see who could get the cooler gifts. One year it was the cheesiest. I won. I got my Dad a velvet Elvis painting. It was just fun. I hope when I have kids they realize it really is about the magic of it all. Making those around you smile and appreciating what you have and of course celebrating the birth of the big guy who gave us all those things.
Hopefully next year I will get to be with my folks. For now my animals, husband, and father in law will do just fine.
