This is turning out to be the strangest Christmas ever. In Jinni's World in October it was going to be a white Christmas snuggled in West Virginia with hot cocoa and cookies, kisses and sticky fingers from the little grands and awesome snowboarding from the older grands. We were going to be a happy extended family for several days. Then slowly the plan began to fall apart. Work schedules conflicted, older grandchildren had plans windows of opportunity shifted but still there was hope families would come and go passing in the night but by New Years all would have been up to the house. The plan went into full crumble when Bruce fell and ended up having surgery on one knee and braces on both legs limiting him to a walker, wheel chair and limited range of motion. One leg is in full lock position making it challenging to get him in and out of most anywhere. The snow is not cooperating with balmy rainy days turning the ground to mush and snow a figment of my imagination.
As Christmas Eve draws close Miss Madi has her first full blown baby cold, Ashby and his Mom are recuperating from their own bout with bugs, Kama is down for the count and Jason is still on the mend from the Pneumonia.
The spirit of Christmas will flit from home to home hopefully leaving kisses on the cheeks of each of my children, their beloved and the amazing gran's. My wish is you wake up smelling cinnamon in the sticky buns in the imaginary oven.
