Annual Christmas Eve Journal Write 2022

I can't believe it's already Christmas Eve.

I can't believe how many times this year I've uttered the phrase "I can't believe it's [enter date here]."

I have felt continually behind and like I'm continually catching up but I guess the important thing is that it's continual, meaning I'm still trying to.

Christmas 2021

 Good grief, I never posted this last Christmas.  I literally post on here twice a year, you'd think I could manage that at least.

I thought this was a really good one too.

Annual Christmas Eve Journal Write 2021

Another wonderful marvelous incredible (truly) year and we've made it at least to Christmas.

Things are pretty gnarly right now and I'm afraid they're about to get gnarlier but I'm also somehow still somewhat (sometimes) optimistic.

Whatever happens will happen and much of it is and will continue to be out of our control so we just need to be as prepared as we can for it so that's the current mindset.

God bless us, every one.

(The goal this year was to have a complete mess of lights upon lights upon lights and so I bought a bunch of new lights and it still doesn't look like enough lights.  Okay tree though.)

Christmas 2020

I literally just noticed I never posted our Christmas card.

So here it is.

I mean to be real we still wear these pajamas all the time so we're

I just read through last year's ACEJW and felt a grim realization that I failed in my resolve to get and stay caught up on blogging for 2019 almost 100%.  Then I realized I have done okay staying caught up on Instagram and really that seems to be the way things are going anyway and I refer to that a lot instead soooo maybe that's just what's going to happen.

But you know I'm still going to drop a line here once or twice a year, even if it's just to say hello and merry Christmas Eve.

I've been doing a bit of a juggling act lately but I think I'm finding a pretty good balance.  It's true that I don't even have a picture of our Christmas tree to put on here but wait, you know what?  I can go take one right now, why not?  Stand by...

THERE. I did a thing.  I had an idea and I stood up and followed through, and that's a Christmas Eve win.  And I just realized that there's the white lights in that middle section are out.  This is real life.

Anyway, it was a busy and crazy and wonderful year and 2020 is looking to be a pretty good one too.
