Christmas Eve

Twas the night before Christmas and I've gone and stayed awake until quarter to five in the morning.   We decided to stay at my parents' place after going to my Uncle's for Christmas Eve since it would be easier than driving down here tomorrow (today, whatever).  I knew that I wasn't going to be able to go to sleep at a reasonable hour but I figured I would watch a movie or read a book once everyone went to bed.   However, for some reason, when my father called it a night around 2am my mother wasn't tired yet and we stayed up talking.  Dave listened while working on my sister's wedding website. 

We had a nice conversation.  My mother is one of those people who is extremely easy to talk with.  She's had many a stranger tell her things that you wouldn't expect.  Sure, there are some people who are just more open but I do think my mother's ability to converse makes it easier.  Heck, even some of the customer services reps she's spoken with over the phone have talked about how they dislike their job with her.  She just has that way about her.  And of course, I can talk up a storm so... here it is at almost 6am and I'm only just now typing this post. 

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas Eve and that you all have an even better Christmas.  I hear that there might be snow.  Sadly it hasn't started yet but I'm still hopeful for a white Christmas even if it is just a dusting.
