If you're like me, the holidays are spent trying to make other people happy. I'm not religious, I'm not into shopping, I'm not into crowds, Santa, caroling, or late night parties, but… I am into making the holidays happy for my loved ones. This year that involves riding a train halfway across the continent, tipping my hat at my sister's, then jumping a second train to Seattle, clinking glasses with the inlaws, jetting to Calgary to have a festive sleepover at the other inlaws, then catching a flight back home. Don't get me wrong, I love the whole idea - getting away, the adventure, visiting people I haven't seen for a long time, but it stresses me to leave the house.
I'd rather be chilling at home with a fire in the woodstove, playing some lively games on the floor, perhaps sipping my favorite wine, but… the wind tore apart our chimney (no woodstove), we aren't going to be home (riding the train), but we will be together and we are packing games.
For those not stressing, wrapping, cooking, cleaning, stressing, sitting by a woodstove sipping bevvies of their choice, or stressing, here's a little bizzarre youtube video about sitting around the table.
