title : Christmas at the Weinstein's
The title of this entry is misleading in more ways than one. Firstly, I didn't actually spend Christmas day at Nicole's. Not unlike the many other years preceding this, I spent the day at work, feeling apathetic about the whole idea of Christmas. Except this year there was no after party with friends/family or walking around town admiring the lights--only an endless stream of complaints from fellow workers after a long day at work with the leftover children whose parents see no need and have no means to take them home for the holidays. Secondly, I spent a good 8-9 days at the Weinstein's, & frankly speaking, it was more the warmth of her family/home than the sights in FL that made my trip. We had delicious home cooked meals with the family (courtesy of the mom,) and stayed up late watching cable/ playing with the dogs every night. We went shopping with the mom, hung out in the apartment with the dad and went to the beach with the brother--making up for all the familial love that I've missed for the past 6 months. It was beautiful. |
