Home for the Holidays
Off to Montgomery tomorrow for Christmas with Moms.
I remember Christmas and the excitement as a kid.
I remember Christmas plays and feeling close to the anticipation of the celebration of Christ.
I remember the pause from college and resting before a new quarter.
I remember going home to 2352 Wagner street.
Now it's different somehow as an adult. Adult like as in 36 years old. Gifts really mean nothing to me. Giving them really does not hold a lot of significance either. I would rather be a good son/friend/confidant for 365 days during the year than try to capture my feelings for those around me on one day. It simply can't be done. Giving is something that should happen every day for those that you love.
I suppose I really only go home to see Moms these days. I miss her a lot, but I hate everything about Montgomery. If I could move all of my family away from that depressing pit I would do it in a moment.
Why don't I have somebody to share this with?

Dude, tell your mom to come live with me, and bring a ham when she comes.
Only if Judy makes potato salad and Bobby brings Miller High Life......
Merry Christmas to you Booster!!
I hope you have a good trip "home".
You do have someone to share this stuff with. You have us.
And have a good trip home.
It's okay to hate the place. Bring love with you, and the rest will be easy.
