Christmas

My "family" just put up all their Christmas decorations and it got me thinking about last December and how different my Christmas was from the ones I've had in the Midwest.


First, I wasn't with family but I was with people who cared for me.
Second, our group was very small, there were 7 of us.
Third, we had beef stroganoff and croissants for Christmas dinner.
Fourth, it was at least 60 degrees outside.
Fifth, we ate outside on the porch.
The sixth and the final straw in my outlandish California Christmas- an ice cream truck playing it's little ditty drove by while we ate.

I laughed for quite a while.
