This has been a very odd Christmas this year. It hasn't even felt like Christmas to me. I haven't been in a very "Christmasy" mood this year for starters. Yesterday I was super sick. I couldn't hold down anything...I had both ends going if you know what I mean. Not good times. Not at all!! So, because of my illness, we didn't make it to the candle light service at church that we usually go to on Christmas eve. I spent the entire day (that I wasn't in the bathroom) in bed. I only got up long enough to open presents with the kids, which has become our tradition.
After that, I went right back to bed. While I was laying there, I got a call from G where we decided since not only I was sick, but other people in the family as well, we would postpone our normal family Christmas day gathering to this coming Saturday. So, we started feeling a little bad that on Christmas, our kids wouldn't have anything special to do, so I looked online and made a phone call and found out that the Oglebay festival of lights was indeed going on today, so I booked a hotel room in Wheeling and we gathered our things and headed out. We drove through the light festival and came back to the hotel where I took the kids to the pool to swim while I relaxed in the hot tub. :)
Now we are sitting in the room enjoying some pizza and watching Spongebob. It hasn't been a terrible day...I am feeling SO much better than yesterday, though still not great...but it just doesn't feel like Christmas.
