Christmas Eve

It's Christmas eve and I'm so happy. I went to my Grandmother's, in San Fransisco where we had a lovely dinner and I ate the best creme brulee ever. I also had a shirley temple, with one of those super artificial cherries, it was good though. Then we went to my Grandmother's house, where we opened presents and drank apple cider and some sort of mayan hot chocolate. And as I sat there, giving people their presents, I felt so happy that they were in my life. At that moment I was so incredibly grateful to have the people that love me and encourage me at my side, sharing those priceless moments. And my Grandmother, who never ceases to amaze me with her abundant energy and love, sat in her big armchair gazing upon the family around her. I really feel, that their is no time like Christmas(I'm not trying to exclude other holidays, in fact my Grandmother's husband is Jewish and celebrates Hanika). This time brings people together, we all know that this is a time to be happy. Something just brings everybody together, and makes you realize just how fortunate you are to have these people around you. So cherish your family, your Grandmothers and Grandfathers, Uncles, Aunts and couzins. It's not like I haven't had those times where I just can't stand my family, but at the end of the day I realize just how much I love them and how much I would miss them if they were gone. So Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!
