Christmas 2011

It's the most wonderful time day of the year.

In this house, the "holidays" are wonderful, yet at the same time, we really feel like something is missing. That something, is a someone, and his name is Eric. Because during the holidays, he becomes a slave to everyone elses holiday. Don't get me wrong, it is all a blessing that Carrabba's is exceptionally busy during this time of year (and thats what pays the bills), but it also means that Eric is always at work. Like ridiculous long hours.


But when Christmas Day comes, our world stops. It's so nice to be home, together, in our pjs, with the girls, and I'll tell you, we are all H.A.P.P.Y. We drink mimosas, eat eggs benedict for breakfast, and the girls had fun with their new toys. Christmas music on, and friends stopping by to say hello. It truly is a wonderful day.
Of course, I'm lucky to have my birthday the very next day... it's an extended holiday! We had another fun day together, topped off with a date for sushi (Because that's my favorite!)

Growing up with parents who worked in the retail biz I know that feeling of holiday lonliness. Christmas day is worth all the relaxation and mimosas!!!
