This year was so different from all of the other years of Christmas. No family came into town, in fact, some of the family left to go out of town. It was just the 4 of us this year. No hectic schedules, no crowded rooms, peace and quiet. Just the way I like it on Christmas. We had a very small Christmas this year, not too many gifts, but it was much better this way. I did most of my shopping this year on the Internet, something I should have started years ago. It takes the pressure off of finding that perfect gift.

I went to wish a merry Christmas. I was glad I did. I haven’t talked to her in ages, and it made my day much better. I realized this is probably the last Christmas I will be living in Montgomery. I will of course come down to visit every Christmas, but who knows if my family is going to be living in Montgomery next year. For all I know, my dad will take that job at Duke. That would be something. I would be very happy for him and my mom if they did. But I will stay in Birmingham.

I hope everybody had a merry Christmas, and I hope everybody has a happy new year.
