Several days before Christmas, Jay had planned to go back to the Bay Area
for his family Christmas. I had planned to be at the cabin by myself. I was
totally fine with that and I’d began thinking of what I wanted to have for
Christmas Eve dinner and then Christmas Day.

While I was making cookies, Jay let me know he’d decided to change his
Christmas plans. He’d be staying with me. I was so excited. My Christmas
had just gotten better. The tree was already loaded with presents for him. I
even had presents under there for me. The ornaments were on the tree, the
Christmas cookies were done, the cards had been mailed out sometime ago
and the house was filled with the sweet smell of holiday potpourri. Even
Santa Mouse was in the tree, as he was every year, since I was little. I was
ready. My family was in my heart and I was where I wanted to be.

CHIRSTMAS EVE

Jay and I had a special Christmas Eve. It was perfect. We had a wonderful
Alaskan King Crab and lobster dinner that we enjoyed. What a great way to
start off the holiday. It was absolutely so yummy!
