Hello there everyone!
So, I'm back after what I suppose I'd call a very successful Thanksgiving. I think I can say this now...since it's passed...but I have to admit I was really scared. Of what? Well, some of you may know about this since I had posted about it but, I lost my grandfather this year in June. He was the only grandparent I had left in my life....and I was very close to him. ((My other grandpa is still alive, but there's been a bit of a family war going on for years. I haven't seen him for 9-10 years, though he really NEVER was there for me anyway...)) Anyway, I was scared because this was the first holiday without him with my cousins...and...I was afraid of just how much I would miss his beaming face upon my coming over. I mean, he used to beckon me over and make me sit next to him. I was his precious grand-daughter. LOL I say that because, he only had 3 granddaughters. The rest of the grandchildren were all boys. XD All 8 of them...or was it 11... oO'
Yet, this year, thankfully we didn't have the party at Grandpa's house, it was at my Uncle's. And...it was so fun. Lots of ppl, everyone happy...we ate, most of them drank...not me though. Not just because I had to drive, I just don't drink often. XD It WAS funny seeing one of my younger cousins drunk though. I knew he was out of it when he grabbed me and started whispering bizarre crap in my ear. It was hilarious. We played various games, and I wandered around, watched a bit of a movie with a couple of my other cousins. AND, they started a DANCE PARTY in one of the bedrooms. I was laughing my a$$ off when my two older cousins started dancing. Took off when they tried to get ME in there though. >///< I just...felt so happy seeing them all laughing and having a good time. I really felt, grandpa would be so proud of us for sticking together. ((There had been talk from my other Aunt/Uncle about CANCELLING the Holidays. They keep saying we shouldn't have holidays and we should mourn for the next couple years. Yet I keep fighting that! He wouldn't want us to do that!! What he WANTED was for the family to stick together! So I don't care....I will FIGHT to keep our Holidays! He would want us SMILING, not CRYING! >_< ))
Okay okay, this is getting a little long. Sorry to bore you all. XD I'm just really relieved now...it's a good feeling. And...I'm not even afraid of Christmas anymore. I'm looking forward to it even. :)
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday...and none of you got hurt going out shopping today. I don't ever want to attempt Black Friday shopping....I know I would be CRUSHED. O_O' There are mean mean mean people shopping out there for the deals...I'm NOT that confrontational. LOL
Take Care and see you all around!
