Eight Days of Happy - Day 6

[bunchofgrapes]

Wow, day 6 already?

Got 6 packages in the mail tonight using the self-service kiosk again. A couple of people came in and were very chatty and nice. I just hope the packages get there. This is a great process so I hope nothing goes wrong.

Best happy today? My friend was telling me about how her boyfriend took her to see Christmas lights. That made me think of one of my best Christmas memories: when I was a kid my grandmother would put the top down on her Rambler convertible with the plastic seat covers and my cousin and I would bundle up like Eskimos in the back seat while she drove us and my mom and my aunt around town to look at the Christmas lights. When we got back to her house, we'd have hot chocolate with little marshmallows. Yeah, that's a very happy memory and I'm glad my friend made me think of it.

I think one of the reasons I don't like Christmas now is because Christmas was so great when I was a kid. And they've never been that great again.

I know. I have to keep reminding myself to see it through the eyes of a child when I get crankypants about more baking.

That's such a great story about what you did with your grandmother and cousin and mum. Awesome :D

That's a great story.

I have to agree on some level about the holidays not being as good, but for me it's mainly because my family is all in flux right now (moving wise and other things)...
