I Love My Mom

Happy Mother's Day! My mom is the bestest mom in the whole wide world, and I'm not just saying that because she invites me over for Sunday dinner and feeds me good food! She also encouraged me to go to school for whatever I wanted (a real luxury in some families), paid for me to do competitive rhythmic gymnastics, and then let me quit, raised me on healthy food, and she loves me lots! (This is a shortened list of wonderful mommy things of course.) So tonight I'm going to make her a yummy dinner. It's not quite a fair trade, but hopefully I will have lots and lots of Mother's Days to show her how much I love her!

It's A Wonderful Life

Every year my mother and I watch this movie on Christmas Eve. Every year I cry.

This year I'm not at home, and this tradition is one that we will have to skip. I looked for the movie before I left, but couldn't find it. And although I love traditions, this year we are making new traditions. This is my first Christmas not at home. But I am with my family (more family than usual), and it's lovely. Instead we are following another tradition. This year we are watching Love Actually. It appeals to my romantic nature.

Happy Almost Christmas.
