In Which the Blog reach 950 posts! A lovely Holiday Season approaches!

Good morning, my dear friend, and I wish you a happy Wednesday! How are you, this fine hour? As for me, I am okay, just waking up, really. The weather here is one of quiet transition, to spring. I can still use thicker blankets, but the days are longer, and the sun is more bright. Not exactly a good thing, I don't like summer, that is approaching. The only saving grace is to have Christmas season also upon us, the season of 2026! And all the memories of happy summer vacations, with the christmas trees and the great deal of lovely santas around it. Grandma used to go all in for the decor. How I miss it... I pray I can emulate it, when I can. Today, grandma is 82 years old, she is aging, as it rarely can be helped. She is tired, and she lives in an apartment nowadays, as such, she does not do the Christmas stuff as vigorously as some years before, alas.  There is no such thing as forsaking the long holiday tradition just because "times changed", whatever that means.

In Which we pay Homage to the Christmas Fairy

Hello everyone, good morning, and I wish you the best. I feel sad for starting the month of April in such way, it is my fault, I should've written the post earlier, but anyway, something sad happened, the Mrs., friend of my grandma mother of my dad (and also my grandpa father of my mom), that used to make some cakes and used to help grandma decorate her house for Christmas, unfortunately passed away, I don't know the cause, but the fact is that she is not around anymore... Again, I didn't cry, but I can't find the words to describe how unmotivated I am to find out of those bad news. A person that came in the best time of the year and used to transform the house of grandma, unfortunately is gone. So I found only appropriate to call her The Christmas Fairy on the post, it's a nice way of paying homage. Anyway, there is little we can do, just keep the tradition of decorating our houses in that wonderful time of year going forward. And for Easter, Grandma decided to bring lambs to the house instead of bunnies, as she found that animal would represent Christ better.


I understand, even if I miss the colorful stuffed bunnies that would be around. Having the lamb is more appropriate though, I will have to agree with grandma, even if I'll go ahead and have bunnies anyway, I'm not the most religious person around. I offer my prayers and I do believe in God, but it still is something foreign to me. Anyway, overall I'm okay, and glad it is April, I'm glad the new apartment, the one that I'll live on in a bit, is coming together. Easter was fine, I felt a bit odd on my stomach, but nothing that would bring my day down. I didn't have Easter Eggs, unfortunately, but I had some chocolate still, and I love Chocolate! Anyway, I just wanted to say hi to you guys, pay homage to the mrs. that brought so much joy to my life, and next post, that will come soon, hopefully this Wednesday (let's pray for it), I'll talk about April with more detail, just properly say hello to this nice month of hot and wet days, hopefully we can have some cooler ones as well, I can dream, can't I? Well, I appreciate you for reading this, and I wish you the best, as I said in the beginning, see you real soon.
