Christmas Eve

OK another Christmas Eve, different from last year but trying hard to find a "right" Christmas Eve.  Took Mom out to lunch,  I really really don't like to take her out of the home but felt she might enjoy a lunch out, not sure she did,  She doesn't do well in crowded noisy places so we take her to Wild Eggs,  very loud with lots of people.  Why does she start whispering in places like that.  I can't hear her or understand her.  I'm thankful my daughter, son and son in law went with me, it made it a lot better than just the two of us.  Tonight going to brave going to my in-laws, Erin, Chris and Mike will be there also,  so I won't feel so alone.  He will be there with his girlfriend so a bit of discomfort on my part.  But I'm strong and will do fine.  Then Christmas Morning, thought about going to church but not sure if I will, maybe sleep late so it won't seem so strange waking up alone,  I'm not fond of this alone time,  I'll have Guinness if I don't beat her first, durn dog seems to know when I screw up and leave something she isn't suppose to have where she can get it. So Christmas at my daughters tomorrow will be fun with friends. :)
