teddy & i would like to wish everybody out there a very merry christmas and a spectacular new year!!
i wish i could say that i was done with all my buying of stuff for the season, but i'm afraid i'm not...and this is after teddy & i spent all afternoon and evening running to and from various places that might house potential gifts for our respective lists...tomorrow is my last chance...
...and even though i object to the overcommercialization of the holiday, i can't help delighting in finding something special for the people i especially care about...i love to give gifts, i really do...
there is a beautiful white downy layer of snow outside now...it is really starting to feel like christmas...i'm just glad i don't have to go back to work until next monday! now THAT'S a holiday treat!tomorrow, christmas eve, teddy & i are going to see my mom & bro for dinner...we're gonna make pizzas and hang out...and then go to church for evanston vineyard's candlelight service...christmas day we are going out to teddy's parents for brunch and various activities...i'm hoping we get to see two towers on their tv...it's like 3x the size of my tv...
i dreamt the night before last that my dad & i were skydiving tandem...it was really cool...it felt like we were dancing...at one point, that important point when our parachute was supposed to go off or something, i got detached from my dad while we were freefalling, and for an instant, i was afraid of being separated from him...but he grabbed hold of me and i guess the parachute deployed, and i remember thinking to myself what a lovely feeling it was to skydive with my dad and i wondered how soon we could do it again...it was a really short dream, but it was so beautiful...i'll take any dream in which my dad is alive and well and we're sharing a breathtaking moment...
