Succinctly Yours for Christmas

Hi everyone! Yes, it has been a while-two months in fact, but I just had too much on my plate with the start of school and a project I'm still toiling over. I had some time between packing to go visit family, so I thought I would head to Grandma Goulash's meme. So about that meme. I'm a bit rusty, but here goes:

Mom ran herself ragged every Christmas-we knew the stress might affect her, but never thought she'd refuse to come out from under the tree! (139 characters-phew!)

Did anyone else picture themselves beneath that tree or was it just me? Lol! Well, back to packing. I hope to stop by and see what everyone else came up with later. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    Welcome back, Susan!!! Nice to see you microfictioning again. This is a funny one; thanks for the laugh! My husband and I have been in southern Cal (we live in northern Cal) visiting our three sons and families, so it's been a fairly easy and stressless Christmas for me. We spent 7 days at a time-share condo in Oceanside, then another 8 days at different sons' homes. We're both retired, so life is easier now.

    Nice to see you, Susan! I hope your Christmas was Merry and now I wish you a Happy New Year!

    Oh yes, poor ragged Mom. Like Little Boy Blue, asleep under the tree in the papers. :)

    I had many a Christmas, when I would have happily collapsed under the tree. You are not alone. lol

    It's so nice to hear from you and I'm glad you found time for a succinct. Enjoy the time with your family and get a bit of rest.

    Welcome back! I sent you an email about a month ago but didn't hear back, so I may have sent to the wrong address. Ah, well. Just so you know I was thinking about you!

    I didn't pass out under the tree, but I did a pretty good bit of snoring on the sofa! LOL

    Love it Sue! Your humor is still here. I could see myself under the tree too after all the Christmas prep craziness :)

    "Mom ran herself ragged every Christmas-we knew the stress might affect her, but never thought she'd refuse to come out from under the tree!"

    Do you smell that? Go ahead, give the air another sNiFf-sNiFf-sNiFf. Freshly cut spruce-iness, right? Well....THAT'S ME! After hanging the final ornament on it and wedging the last gift under it, I stayed there <--beneath O Tannenbaum! Yep, I set up camp on Christmas Eve and I've been here ever since (or should I say "evergreen"? lol!) And thank God I had the presence of mind to take the laptop in the "thick" with me. Sure, the dirty laundry and dishes are piling up, but who the heck cares?! LOL!
