Christmas Eve

I drew the above santa at work on a whiteboard with dry erase markers.  Each month, my neighbor at work asks me to draw something on her whiteboard.  It is usually fun.  And usually ends up being a group project.  No one touched my santa, but if I had drawn reindeer, there would have been poop within a day or reindeer food, or whatever.  It is kind of fun.  

I went to a wonderful AA meeting this morning.  New people, old people, and people in between.  A newly sober man brought his dad.  His dad sheepishly thanked us for what we do.  It was a touching moment. 

I will serve dinner at 3 p.m. today.  Prime Rib Roast, Yorkshire Pudding, roasted potatoes, salad, and apple pie with ice cream.  I made this meal just weeks ago for Thanksgiving, but I am making it again since it is my daughter's favorite.  She is really suffering through her first (and pray God last) Christmas without her kids.  

Then to midnight mass.  Then I will see if I can get to a meeting at 3 a.m., one of my favorite members is chairing it.  The local club is sponsoring an "alcothon" and I feel it is my responsibility to participate in what ever way I can.

The headache has not left yet.  I do not feel well at all.  Neither does my daughter.  

Merry Christmas Everyone.
