I know what you mean about the lack of Christmas spirit. All day I kept saying to the cat, "Hey - it's Christmas and we don't give a crap!" He'd yawn - which I took as him agreeing. Bah, humbug.

I found myself alone Xmas Eve so I watched The Ref, Mr. Magoo's A Christmas Carol and The Christmas Story while I baked pumpkin bread and cookies. (I watched its A Wonderful Life on the big screen in Alexandria about a week ago. It was so cool.) I filled stockings for the cats and the dog and one for Nolan's current girlfriend. So I kept up with traditions and felt all the more alone because of it. Its the first time I have not had any family to spend Christmas with me and it felt strange. Merry Christmas!
