But several factors need to be in place: you need to be retired from a daily job; you need to live near an adult offspring who loves the Christmas hustle and expects nothing of you but attendance at the various festivities she arranges at her house; you need to have relatively little emotional investment in impressing anyone with your gifts either family or friends; and it helps if you aren't religious. All those are factors I enjoy. I did the shopping and wrapping last week. This week I have time to assess the writing I did this year, consider what should be submitted, what I should work on and what I want to write. I'm very peaceful. Tonight I'll do the family bit and tomorrow after about 11:00 more festivities. Then it's over and my time is my own. No stress. Blessed! It's all about not giving a damn about tradition.June Calenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00265808476144632255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913223308835760783.post-26484946606374920562010-12-23T08:51:53.134-08:002010-12-23T08:51:53.134-08:00Enid, good luck on your tour!Enid, good luck on your tour!Conda Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12972790965426924941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913223308835760783.post-1999295513202714532010-12-23T08:51:20.782-08:002010-12-23T08:51:20.782-08:00Carol--Closest was Austin for my niece's colle...Carol--Closest was Austin for my niece's college graduation.
