Sitting here with a Padron, kraken, ginger beer and my thoughts.
I haven't been in the christmas spirit in a long time. Well at the level of commercialized rhetoric, not at all.
christmas has had meaning for me most on two types of occasions.
First one.
The last christmas with Chocolate Doll. We came down here to Wilmington to spend time with the parental units and their daughter. They were glad to see us, but I wasn't feeling being bothered. But I had Chocolate Doll so that was all that mattered.
Then the forecast came up for snow here at the beach. I had no desire to be stuck here with the parental units so we rolled out and went home. But everyone loved the gifts she picked out for them and personalized. Her smile was infectious as always. Got back to enjoy Christmas the Titan's way at home. And then the snow came down and I went out in it early to enjoy it.
Secondly.
Growing up on airbases while having your father be in the SP's brought about a different life. But when it came to holidays and especially christmas there were guys that had to stand post all night. Add to that the deployment of everyone to the desert shield operation during christmas also and I am honored to have been able to serve everyone that was there or came through. To give them movies, coffee, food and desserts. To brighten, support or ease their mind a little bit. This had the true meaning of christmas to me.
So today as I get my scrooge on and just chill. I look back and I am thankful for My Life Unscripted adventures in the christmas agenda.
Right now I am just ready for the season ending episode of the Mandalorian.
Enjoy your christmas
