A Good Christmas

Lea woke me up a few minutes early this Xmas morning to check out my Xmas stocking stuffers before we did our morning readings and meditation.  Got a Seahawks hat, a charm shaped like football helmet for the review mirror in my car and some chocolates.

Made myself a breakfast sandwich of two eggs with Canadian bacon on an English muffin and then it was time for our morning meeting.  After that, it was an extra Xmas meeting during the “Alcathon” which are back-to-back meetings before, during and after a holiday.

We came home to a light lunch and then opened presents.   Finished watching the Scrooge which is the 1951 movie of A Christmas Carol.   Not much for B&W movies, but it was good to check out a classic for something different.

After a nap, it was time for our Xmas dinner with turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, bean casserole, flakey biscuits, and fruit salad.  Michelle did a great job of making dinner and setting the table.

We chatted, cleaned up, read for awhile and then Danica came over with Jayse at 9 PM.   We opened some more presents, took pictures and laughed.

Michelle said it was the best Xmas ever.  It was her first sober Xmas in 9 years.  Lea had a good day.  It was the first time in my life having a real Xmas with presents and dinner at “my” house.  Kinda scary but went really really well.


I am grateful for a sober Xmas at home with a turkey dinner, nice presents and no insanity that went really well.  Thank you god.
