It's hard not to be with my family at Christmas time. I always think it's going to be fine, and I'm usually too broke to buy the ticket out there. But when Christmas day rolls around, I always feel that deep emptiness. And I vow to make it out to Cali the next year, and somehow I usually don't make it, and I wind up tagging along to other people's family get togethers.
Tomorrow I'm going to my dear friend Julie's house for dinner -- cassoulet and pumpkin clafoutis! I will take pictures and try not to be so mopey.
have a great christmas ganda! my love to julie too!
