A Memorable Christmas
Our Christmas got off to a lovely start. Santa was extremely generous and it seemed as if we opened presents for hours! I think he was making up for the fact that we didn’t see each other last year (my immediate family, that is). In any case, we relaxed, ate goodies and drank mimosas all morning. Late morning we all bundled up and headed down to Golden Gardens for a blustery, seaside walk.
Sometime after lunch, I started to feel a little queasy and the stomach flu hit me full force in the middle of dinner. It was not pretty and I was basically in bed by about 5 pm (with periodic trips to the toilet). I stayed in bed until 8 am the next morning and although weak, was not in terrible shape. We went on to host a Boxing Day Party and I did my best to play the hostess. 48 hours later I’m more or less 100%. Unfortunately, G has the same bug now. Worst part of all this is that there is only ONE toilet in this house and SIX adults. I don’t imagine I’ll forget this Christmas anytime soon. As G said, at least we know we won’t be sick on New Year’s Eve this year!
