~:[CH5 - Day 358]:~ Let the Festivities Begin
The holiday season is a little crazy and it was ever so evident as I walked into Ralph's. The crowds of people were ridiculous making me realize, I should have come earlier. Of course, the Packers game kept me at home before I finally decided to go out. I got my food, picked up a milk tea before heading home to prep gifts, cook and then relax before the family party. It's always great to see everyone and this year there were more people than ever. It was a packed house and seemed like it was fifty strong. Our food spread was amazing and added to our dessert spread, it was magical. However, the true magic was the time spent with family whether it was the photo ops with Santa or playing Bingo into the night. By night's end, we were all exhausted with most knowing that tomorrow would be another day for us to get together. It's nice that as busy as we all are, there is at least a period of time where we can slow time and spend some quality time together. In many cases, we don't appreciate enough the friends and family we have and this always is a reminder that we should make as much time for them as possible, a definite must for me. By night's end, I wanted to sleep, but I hung out for just a bit before heading home. From playing Santa to running many of the games, I was exhausted, but it was well worth it all.
