Green Smiley Monday

We survived Christmas better than we anticipated; we ate, laughed, opened presents - I think it was worse wondering how it was going to go.  Last year was a blur - we were in zombie mode.
My granddaugther and I had candles burning for Lisa for 3 days.  It was a comfort to look at them and think of her and how she would have enjoyed it all. I only had one major breakdown - after dinner on Christmas Eve.  I think because that was Lisa's favourite time - setting out the presents under the tree and filling the stockings.
So year 2 was better than last year.  We will see what the New Year brings.  Now we are off to visit friends for more food and laughter - Lisa will be there in spirit.
