The tree is completely decorated and -- just like every year -- I am amazed at how it transforms our living room.
This year I'm having a hard time feeling celebratory. The food and drink of Christmas is such an important part of the season for me. I like being this size (and these healthy doctor numbers) but I do so miss eggnog and hot chocolate and shortbread and rum balls and fruitcake and.... Well, I could go on and on. I miss baking goodies for Christmas baskets (and I don't know what else to give people) and you can't just not feed friends who drop in at the holidays. The old "Nuthin' says lovin' like something from the oven" is so true for me. Next year will be better and I will learn to celebrate without food. For now, however, the inner me still wants to cook for and feed everyone. There is a bit of Bah, Humbug involved in being skinny.
