Surviving family

My goal for 2026, as far as WP is concerned, will be to write more often without prompts.

We’ll see how that goes. I’ve never minded giving up so I may not stick to it.

I am cooking our big Christmas dinner today instead of on Christmas Day. I started this tradition a couple of years ago when the kids were leaving Christmas Day to travel down south with their dad to be with their grandparents.

I felt like it was better. It makes Christmas Day more relaxing.

Of course today I have some last minute items I need from the grocery store so I’m sending Taz to get them soon.

Sid was excited to find that his elf on the shelf left him an early Christmas gift as it’s the last night he visits until December 2026.

I probably won’t write tomorrow, I’ll be eating and surviving family.

Happy Holidays to all of you! I hope it’s whatever you want it to be. And more.

The way the sun was shining on it…

    Your Christmas tree is beautiful! And all those gifts! Looking at it I kept wondering which box I’d go for first and I keep thinking that really big one on the right. But then good things come in small packages so… Decisions! Have fun cooking and an enjoyable meal and I look forward to reading your non-WP prompt posts.

    Love your post, although personally I feel like I write better on my own than with prompts. Your last sentence on the holidays hopefully being whatever we want it to be struck home. We are so intent on wishing people happiness and peace and your wish shows that you took time to think about it. If you have time, I would love it if you would visit my blog as your schedule permits. All feedback welcome. https://rootsenroutescom.wordpress.com/
