What a great Christmas!
Well, sort of anyways..
I absolutely LOVE large family Christmases! The huge crowd of happy people chatting about anything and everything... Seeing family I haven't seen in since, well, LAST Christmas! Taking time just to visit, have fun, and just be.....
The smell of every kind of rich food - one -would-normally- never-eat- cause - I'm -on -a -diet-type fare.. tantalizing the olfactory nerves...
mmmmmmm... I never eat like I do at Christmas... oh, and PIE.. hee hee... I have that for breakfast every morning for a week! LOL
Then I diet for 6 months to get rid of all the excess poundage ;(
Ahhh but I ramble... but gee.. we're talking about pie here..........
Anyway, I do love the big get togethers... Unfortunately it didn't seem to happen this year.
My parents, sis and bro remained out of state. My cousins, Aunt and Uncle were here.. but for some reason we weren't invited to the usual Xmas Eve Festivities... Maybe the house was just too full... My cousins have had quite a growth in family members.. I don't know, but that is one of the things I am trying not to dwell on... 'cause it could be any number of reasons that I am not aware of...
We had a quite dinner at home with my son, daughter ( home from college!! Gosh I missed her so much!), and DH. it was nice.. We opened presents together and enjoyed each other's company. That's what is important. It just seemed, well, less festive.... but certainly not less enjoyable..
Xmas day we went to my niece's house... ahhhhh there we go! Grandparents, Grandchildren, niece and hubby, in-laws.. yep... in my element!! hee hee...
Looks like maybe, just maybe, the big family Christmases will still be around after all.... whew! What a relief! ooooooo and so totally cool!! I DIDN'T HAVE TO COOK!
So, how does this apply to an ADHD blog?
I think it's one of the gifts of an ADD'led mind: We like the excitement, the action... small and quiet just might be not enough stimulation. I know that some might be overwhelmed with all the added distraction of so many people. Not me, I thrive on it.
Nothing gets my mind in gear better than a little chaos ;)
