five days from now will be my first alone christmas. by that i mean no family, no friends, no gf, no gf's family. i don't expect it to be too different. fewer funny stocking trinkets, to be sure, but that's okay. i'm not sure what i'll make for dinner for myself, but something tells me it will be a departure from what we normally have. i am hoping that it will help me to appreciate future christmases. perhaps. i will miss being woken up early, but i am ready as ever to watch a christmas story twelve times in a row.
