I had a truly great Christmas 🎄
The gifts ranged from:
A two day tubing holiday at Wintergreen (lots of snow gear)
A two day’s worth of stay at the Hotel Roanoke for my folks.
Custom designed Tshirts for my daughter
Magnificent family party and dinner in West Virginia on Saturday.
Driving to Georgia tomorrow for my mother in laws birthday.
It’s good. I need nothing. No one around me needs anything. We have to find things to buy for each other. And yes we contribute in many number of ways.
My wife and I talked with my Mom about my brother dying for a good long extended time. My 20 year old daughter was talking with my 96 year old stepfather in the next room.
(shrugs) Damn. I got it. I’ve had it for a while.
I’m happy.
I miss Jake.
Merry Christmas 🎄

I am sorry to hear about your brother. Enjoy your posts.
You know I thought about you recently.
I sometimes have to make guesses about things and people with very little info. I like how with most posters here, somehow the human comes through without extensive background checks (AI border security verified! Our creepy little lie detector/personality tester will tell you whether to trust this human or not!), diarrhoeal explanations etc.
