Merry Xmas! I hope things are going well with everyone?

This year, I'm not going to lie, is going to be a bit of a downer for me. My mom passed away 3 months ago now, and she was the last of my family, aside from a few cousins and uncles/aunts who I rarely see, so this year is going to be very quiet. But I am determined to enjoy myself, and I have a few things lined up for today. I will, of course, be phoning what relatives I do have to wish them all a Merry Xmas, and I'm going to the crem to pay respects to my folks, and am cooking a big dinner for myself and my dog (something he should enjoy a lot, since he's been on a diet for months).

I hope everyone is doing well this day, and be sure to stay safe!
