Both Ends
When both of the ends of the candle are lit, it's hard to write entries in the blog.
It's been QUITE a week - lots of work, lots of company, lots of fun and a little angst. That's to be expected whenever there's family, liquor in an enclosed space...
My sister in law and nephew have been here - for the most part having a heck of a good time and eating as much crap as we can shove into them. Ah, the holidays...
My cousin was up for just a day and a half, but it was so tremendous to have what's left of my family together for Christmas that it made everything worth it. Of course, I wasn't the one who had to take FOUR PLANES from West Virginia just to make the visit happen... Thanks so much for coming, Jan!
But the Main Event was the actual opening of the gifts on Christmas (and on the few days before - residual Hanukkah gifts...) It seemed to be a nice amount, no one was overwhelmed, no one felt bereft and lacking, and we all realize just how lucky we are.
So I'm taking a few more 'personal days' before I leap back into my knitting life. Work progresses on several projects, I'm a little slow on some others (but I'll catch up!) Today I actually went to see The Pursuit of Happyness with my sister in law, Hannah and Alex (my nephew). And I cried. It was a lovely movie.

I went to see Pursuit of Happyness on Saturday. I cried the whole movie. I was homeless for 8 years in the SF bay area and ached for him and his son.
It was great to see Will Smith do a movie with his real life son that showed so much tenderness.
Congrats on having your family for the holiday - that's the best part for me.
I'm happy to hear you liked the movie...it's on our list.
Sounds like you had a wonderful and full Holiday.
It sounds like you had a really lovely time, and that your time together produced happiness and joy for each of you. We went to see Night at the Museum yesterday -gorgeous film, and I would be only too happy to watch it again.
