I am very late in wishing everyone a very happy “you and yours”. While we are here I might as well wish you a Happy New Year as well because I am bound to miss that one too.

I headed South to San Diego once again with a car full of luggage, presents and one Grandmother. It was an easy drive, and my Grandmother kept me entertained with some simply amazing stories. Then I got a phone call from my Sister. She was calling because she knew I would be heading over to my Mom’s and thought I should know she was not there but was in the Hospital. These Hospital trips are not quite the freak out they once were, as they happen every now and then to try to keep whatever ailment from getting to a threatening situation, but a welcomed holiday tradition they are not.

I did get to enjoy a lot of time over at my Sister’s house, which was lovely to see a lot of the baby niece, which was quite a positive side effect. Christmas Eve was a whirlwind of some last minute shopping, Hospital visits and football. Christmas Day was food preparation, more Hospital visits, being late places, amazing presents, leaving early, last minute wine runs, cooking for 10, doing dishes forever and a finale at the Hospital. Finally the day after Christmas the doctors said my Mom could come home, so we finished up the Holiday season by celebrating the last of Christmas a day late. It mattered little what day it was, it was just good to have a little normalcy to hold on to.

Twas not the ideal holiday season, but in a lot of ways it had a more lasting effect on me. I wish only that I could have seen more of my friends that reside in the city I grew up in; that I could have had more California burritos while I was there.
