Home Alone

December 24th, 2011 at 05:12 pm

for Christmas! This is the first year that I can remember NOT being home alone for Christmas. My dh and I have very little family. I have none; he has a very elderly father and a brother in another state.

This year we have been invited over to spend Christmas day with another couple and a few of their friends.

Almost everyone has extended families, but this couple are like us. She has no family and he has an elderly mother and brother up north.

I think it is so nice that we can spend the holiday together with them.

I went to the grocery store this morning. I discovered the box of candy (turtles) that I paid full price for, was now half price cause it is christmas eve. I am giving it dh cause he loves that candy. I picked up some more half price candy to give him. I also picked up a bottle of wine to take to the dinner tomorrow night.

I had a no use gas day yesterday and received a pinecone check in the mail, so another $5 to add to the challenge money.

Prev. total $20,171.00
today 5.00
new total $20,176.00

Merry Christmas everyone!

    I'm in the same boat, Ima. I have my mother and my father, but I always have to chooses between the two of them becus they live in different states. i have a sister, but we have very little to do with each other. And I have two half-brothers, who pretty much live separate lives. Not what I would choose, but that's pretty much how it is.

    Congratulations! And, Merry Christmas! Chocolate Turtles sound yummy- I know your husband will enjoy them. I have the heat on...again. Seems like arthritis has set up in my lower back, where I fractured it. Wonder how much my bill will be...I've ran the heat more this winter than I have my entire life.
