Hello everyone! It's the day before the big day. I hope you're all ready and haven't found yourselves having to brave the "last-minute" rush at the shops.
Andie and I will be heading over to her mother's place this evening to celebrate Christmas Day, then we'll be coming back tomorrow evening. We're having to leave Meg by herself, so we don't want to leave her on her own for too long. (We'll be leaving her plenty of food, and something that makes noise so she doesn't get too lonely though!)
We'll also be paying my parents a visit shortly after Christmas, and for that we'll actually be taking Meg with us, because it's for a few days rather than just overnight. We took Meg and Ruby with us to my parents' place last year and although they didn't think much of the car journey, they seemed to enjoy spending a bit of time somewhere different; Meg quickly found the comfiest spots in the house to go and hide if she didn't want company, and Ruby was pretty friendly with everyone.
I miss Ruby, particularly at this time of year. I know rationally speaking she didn't do anything particularly "special" at Christmas, being a cat, but Christmas is a time for your whole family to be together, and thus it's hard not to think about those who aren't with us any more. Especially as it wasn't really all that long ago that we lost her. I hope she knows we're thinking of her, wherever she is now.
I'm not anticipating any presents as hugely exciting as the Switch my parents were kind enough to get me last year, but it will be nice to just spend a bit of time with people somewhere else for a bit in that nice sort of "cosy" atmosphere a house on Christmas day provides. Andie's mum typically provides a log fire for extra cosiness, and she does a great Christmas dinner.
Anyway. I'm going to have a nice lazy day today, likely spent mostly in the company of Atelier Totori, and I hope you all have the opportunity to get some rest too. I'll write again tomorrow, of course, but in the meantime I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy good food, good company and great presents.
Love you all!
