castalie: (Season - Christmassy Starbucks)
The mood this morning was pretty chill ).

We've been chilling at home all morning. In a couple of hours we'll head to my parents' for today/tonigh's celebrations with the whole family, including my godmother and cousins who arrived from Rome last week (so happy to have them with us ♥). Those of us who are lucky enough to be off work today will make it to my parents' throughout the afternoon, those who aren't will join us as soon as they're free. Tonight we'll be all together (-1), eating good food, playing games, enjoying the festive atmosphere and tracking Santa's journey with the kids to make sure he'll be safe and on time for the presents delivery at midnight ;) It'll be cosy and noisy and lively and full of cheer and laughters and hugs, oh I cannot wait!

We're staying over tonight, as usual, with the addition of my BIL this time. Tomorrow morning it'll be Christmas brunch with everyone and in the afternoon we'll visit my mother-in-law who's in a nursing home/rehab center after having hip surgery last week, surgery that was long overdue and which she was incredibly impatient of getting. The timing obviously sucks as it's right in the middle of Christmas celebrations but she was so impatient for it she didn't even mind. Basically, Santa gave her her main present early this year and she's already enjoying it immensely :) Plus, the home where she's staying at is pretty lovely (surrounded by a park and everything).

Anyway, we'll miss her tonight but we know she's in good hands and we'll get to spend time together tomorrow.

Hope you'll have a wonderful Christmas yourselves if you celebrate (if you don't, a lovely day, obviously), be it a noisy one or a quiet one. I know this time of the year can be rough sometimes, but I hope you'll be surrounded by family or friends, and if you're on your own, that you get to enjoy your quiet time all the same. In any case, I'll be thinking of you *hugs*
