Monday night marked the end of my holiday vacation. Fall will be over soon. The trees are bare and Pumpkin Spice has given way to Peppermint Mocha. So now what do I have to look forward to? With the Hershey trip and Trans Siberian Orchestra in my rear view mirror, the Countdown to Christmas is on!
Schedule permitting and weather permitting because it is December, I hope to attend a few end of year parties at a couple of the clubs in the District. On Monday, Cranberry High Noon will have their yearly Tastemasters meeting. This is where the members bring something to share and talk about it. I attended last year as well as the year before COVID. Johnstown is having a Christmas party next Tuesday. They won’t have a meeting on the 24th because it’s Christmas Eve. If I’m available next Monday or Tuesday, I might go to one of the parties.
My home life is busy right now, as we’re getting ready for Christmas. Mom is baking cookies and I’m thinking about making Chex Mix. With a lot of sweets on the lineup, I plan on making mine savory.
I’ve been invited to Christmas dinner again this year. Last December my adopted family asked me if I’d be interested in eating Turkey on Christmas. Jumping at the opportunity, I said yes. We had a great time last year and everyone was happy to see me. I won’t have to rush out like last year and I might buy something nice that I’ll slay in.
Finally, I’m closing in on 200 blogs for the year and, at the rate I’m going, I’ll have it done before Christmas. Coming into October, this feat still seemed impossible to get. While getting to 140 would have been good enough, I wanted to make 2024 an exceptional year.
Sometimes it’s hard to come up with enough content to fulfill my goals on. But, it’s safe to say that I got this.
