It’s Christmas Eve! I was giving this some thought last night, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I enjoy Christmas Eve more than Christmas Day.
On Christmas Day, you have opening presents and a big dinner. Really nice stuff, but not really a whole lot going on. Plus, the wonderful, delicious anticipation is over at that point. Christmas Eve, there’s so much more to do and to look forward to. In my family, it’s tradition to go out to lunch on Christmas Eve at someplace nice. Now, it’s not so much lunch this year as it is dinner because for some reason no restaurants in Reno want to open before 5pm on Saturdays. And of course, there’s going to church. Nothing beats church on Christmas Eve. After church, we drive around to look at Christmas lights on the way home. Then? You get to open one present each before sending the wee ones to bed. The adults stay up and play Santa. Then you go to bed, tired but happy and actually for once looking forward to waking up in the morning. 
Update: The dog is fine, back to her old self. She still won’t eat dog food, heaven forbid. But she’s no worse for the wear. Seriously, that is one lucky dog.

Hi, my name is Ellyssa
I was doing a search on google for “ankle surgery” and I found your site - At the end of October I twisted my ankle pretty bad and tore two ligs. I know it’s not the same as breaking bones in an ankle — but I seem to be going through pretty much the same emotions that you are - Can you give me any pointers on recovery and how to keep my head up?? I have supplied my email and my screen name on aim is; atrophicspin — I also supplied my website - although I have not updated it in quite a while…
Any help would be greatly appreciated- I currently spend my days in a recliner staring at a tv… I guess you know how that goes though —
