This year nothing is the way is supposed to be, so on Christmas Eve I decided to follow the long established Jewish tradition and have an early Chinese dinner with friends (non-Jewish and non-Chinese, like myself), followed by a movie.
On Christmas Day I´ll have lunch with another set of friends with a non-traditional menu of potato pie followed by another movie.
As for NYE, I will celebrate it on the 30th with a party at Julien's, and yet another set of friends. On the actual 31st I will be flying to Madrid and, hopefully, toasting on the plane.
I now need to come up with something incongruous for the Reyes Magos day, on January 6th.
In the meantime I keep busy eating, reflecting about how I should really be starting a meditation practice, shuffling from one laptop to the next thinking how I need to turn them all off, regain a resemblance of an attention span and read the gazillion books and articles that I want to read, taking truly long and non ecofriendly baths, playing with polymer clay, pondering all the things I could be doing if I wasn't doing whatever I happen to be doing, etc. I also make plans for things I will never do and I shake my tremulous derrière in zumba classes. It´s a good life so far.
