Every bone in my body aches today, and it was so worth it! I loved my own party and had a great time, seeing friends, cooking, feeling festive and lucky in my life. The food was a success and my husband, son and I were all grins after the last guest left and we had put away leftovers. No even the daunting array of pots and pans to wash could dampen our spirits. It was a big effort, and with big rewards.
Of course, today I had to finish putting stuff away, then go to 3 grocery stores to get the stuff for Christmas Eve and Day. I'm numb with exhaustion, but what a nice feeling it is, in service to friends being together and sharing conversation, food and joy of the season.
