thefourthoneSteph isn't opposed to Christmas. She actually really likes the idea of cheerful gatherings around a Christmas trees and jiggling like bowls full of jelly or whatever...it's just that her reality hasn't exactly matched up. When her mom was well enough to hold down a job, she'd always work to get that sweet sweet time-and-a-half holiday pay. And when her mom couldn't work, well, she couldn't really do anything else either. Christmas mostly happened to other people and on TV.
But not this year! Because it's not like anyone else here has parents to be disappointing, so clearly a celebration is called for. If by celebration you mean frozen pizzas, pretzels and chip dip, because that's about the best she can do. She even went the extra mile and made some cookies out of a mix, so watch out, Martha Stewart. There's no tree, but she's tacked a string of Christmas lights to the walls all through the house so everything's cast in a cozy multi-colored glow.
It's not much, really, but it's already pretty much the best Christmas ever.
