I wasn't sure what I was going to do about the holidays... I didn't celebrate Diwali this year--it was too soon after Amma's funeral.
But Christmas wasn't a holiday I typically celebrated with her, so I thought I'd be ok. But no, it has been brutal. After I came back from NYC, I don't really know what happened between Monday and Friday?
And now Christmas is less than a week away. Or a few days away.
I didn't feel putting together a family holiday card this year, but last week I realized that this was the last year my mom could be on one (grandparents and sibs are usually on our holiday cards) so I had to make one. And mom loved our dress-up shenanigans, so I ordered us some tinsel wigs.
Pic: The best we could do. Max was very offended by the idea of wearing a wig. And did A (behind me) not know his face was completely obscured? We were already late for trivia night and friends were waiting, so there were no retakes.

I love the dogs’ ‘what is even happening here’ vibe. I am glad you still did cards. Christmas snuck up on all of us, but especially for you, I bet. With thanksgiving being so late, it came especially quickly this year. I got all our presents wrapped but it doesn’t seem like Christmas should be this coming week!
I’m glad you put together a card, so cute! I know you didn’t feel like Christmas was going to be rough because you didn’t celebrate with your mom, but there’s something about finding joy when you’re in mourning that is HARD. Sigh. Good job pulling it out where you can.
