Merry Christmas from Charlaine Harris " I really, really, don’t want anyone else to ask me if I’m ready for Christmas."

What a sweet ( bittersweet) Christmas post from Charlaine.

I really, really, don’t want anyone else to ask me if I’m ready for Christmas.
I’m never ready for Christmas, at least in the practical sense of having all my arrangements made, groceries bought, house clean, decorations up.
I’m always ready for Christmas in the sense that I’m always delighted to have my children home together under one roof, my husband off work, and the sound of my family stirring around the house.
The past few years, Christmases have been a bit unhappy, a bit jumbled. My mother’s failing health meant she couldn’t come to us at Christmas, and I had no siblings any longer to be with her, and we travelled up to her place. We wanted to be with her, and we were; but we also wanted to be at home. Now we will be at our own house, but we will miss her. Not a day goes by without my thinking of her, and that’s as it should be.
