I had to write this before the end of the month! I hope you all had a happy holidays (or at least, part 1).
I was feeling some emotional turmoil over celebrating a holiday, on false grounds, that is supposed to be about people welcoming other people into their communities and on their land. To be thankful for the things we have and help others, blah, blah , blah. Millions of people are walking across countries and piling into boats in search of a home and our country is turning them away. I wrote a post about immigrants in detention right now and added something to our grace for the meal. I just wanted to recognize them and wish them the best. So, I did. Ratings on the dinner:
Ratings on family time: Immeasurable, silly! I did have a fantastic time spending time with my loved ones. Even got to hang out with my cousin who I adore even though he beats me tenfold no matter what game we play. We ate and played board games and ate and played music badly and ate… It was also my dad’s birthday the day after! I guess all I can say is that I hope he had a good time! Happy birthday, dad.

I'm SO glad you had fun! It sounded as if it were going to turn out well when I spoke with your mom right before everyone arrived. Your cousin is a precious person, for sure - and good at games, as are most of your family members. I hate that I forgot your dad's birthday - please give him a birthday kiss from me!
