Christmas Eve

It’s Christmas Eve and I’m working morning, and thus I’m pitied by everyone I know, as Christmas Eve is THE day in Sweden. But it’s not as bad as it could be. Mims was here over the weekend, so we had a Midwinter celebration on Saturday with my parents as well as my Ex and his wife. It was very nice, and though Magda couldn’t come due to work and was missed, it was still nice to have Mims all by myself a bit, and I think both she and I appreciated that.

Today I stop working at 3, and me and the Kid will go to my parents for a quiet Christmas dinner. Husband has a cold from hell and will stay at home, and my sister won’t be coming, due to a cold as well, plus the hassle of traveling on Christmas Eve with two small children and going by bus, train and tube to get here. Me, Kid and parents will go visiting her on Boxing Day instead. Husband, who gets stressed out by small children, gleefully realised that, as we don’t use our car during the winter, he had to stay home with the dogs.

Anyways, I hope all of you have a lovely holiday, and if you don’t observe Christmas, I hope you have a good time too!
