christmas!

i made no plans for this day, a day i feel so deeply & desire to share with others. i went to sleep knowing that even if i was alone, i would be filled with that feeling this day brings me and need nothing else.

7:30am hit the bed from present making frenzy.

2:12pm text message:

"Are you at joys house because were coming over right now :)"

my 2:13pm response:

"Ah! Me crampy! Ok"

reluctantly out of bed & brushed my teeth. the bell rang right after; Daivi & Amora came to deliver a surprise gift necklace of silver cat's eye. we gathered in my room to spend time with each other, we 3 talked, listened to Black Eyed Peas while sharing moon time. ascended upstairs to the common area; the following hours were pure blessing.

startled with a gift for me under the tree - the softest white winter hoodie. i passed out the gifts i had for the family save Henry's which i knit while the day passed. it was an unlikely & spontaneous communing together sharing laughter, energy, time, food, fun. despite a respite in bed for some hours during, i could feel the day bright with cheer, hearing through the ceiling life stories & wisdom gained, scrabble onyx edition word play and eruptive enjoyment. i felt that togetherness that seems so difficult to achieve on a day where it is anticipated, expected. perhaps the best things go unplanned, and truly one of the best christmas days i have ever had.

merry christmas!
