Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Christmas wasn't EXACTLY what I had expected or hoped for. DD came down with the stomach flu on Christmas Eve. I got it on Christmas Day (sheer agony!). DH followed us by getting it the day after Christmas. Probably the worst Christmas I ever had :( We had already made arrangements for my mom to spend Christmas at my sister's house because of expected bad weather -we didn't want to take the chance of not being able to get to her place.
But because I was prepared, we had plenty of food and drink in the house. But it was by sheer luck that we had enough toilet paper & pedialyte on hand. So for next year, I think I will be sure to have an Emergency Illness Plan as well. How miserable to be sick on Christmas and have to leave home in search of medicines & soothing goodies!
I am hoping that your Christmas wasn't NEARLY as icky as mine! We're going to try and make New Year's Eve a little more special than usual to make up for last week. Mind you, usually we do NOTHING for New Year's Eve so it won't take much. I purchased flowers for the table yesterday so it looks festive. We have sparkling drinks (both grown-up & kiddie versions) and once again, plenty of food.
A huge Thank You to my Flying Partners for making this such a relaxing Holiday Season!

I am so sorry your family was sick on Christmas. Our Christmas was different too due to the weather. Not a good time for a snow storm.
