Christmas in New Diary

This is Christmas. As a kid Christmas was a very special time of year . My parents went all out for Christmas. The had an electric train set that took up an entire room of the house. I remember that train set and it had three trains to it. My dad would work all night long getting it set up. I loved that train set and I never cared if I got any other presents. But they always provided lots of presents under the tree. I never forgot one year I got a bike for Christmas. Loved that bike. But my favorite Christmas present was book. They always got me some nice books for Christmas and I loved to read even when I was a kid.

We always had a big family dinner for Christmas. My brother was in the Army and he would come home on Christmas with his five kids My sister would come. with her two kids. We always had a turkey dinner and my mom was such a wonderful cook. We always got along pretty good I never remember any fights or arguments on Christmas. It was a fun day.

Now Christmas is kind of sad for me. Both my parents passed away during the holidays. I am estranged from family and we do not talk. I do not know if my sister is still alive. The last time I heard she was in a nursing home. I haven’t seen them in several years and the last time I saw them we had a bad argument Haven’t seen or heard from anyone ever since that day.

I am lucky to have Chocolatechip in my life. She always makes Christmas special. This year she baked a batch of cookies and gave them to me. She always makes a nice Christmas dinner I really do love her and am glad that she is in my life.

I was up at 6::30 this morning. Arthritis was kicking my ass. I was sore and stiff in my hips. Chocolatechip came up She made coffee for me. We talked about past Christmases . As always I had a good time with her. She makes life good.
