Christmas
So discussions as to how my family would end up spending christmas day went along with the lines of:
Mom: I miss my mom I want to visit her.
Rest of us: *shrug* Okay.
So yesterday we slept in (which was bliss) and then we hopped into the car to visit my grandparents, something we haven't done in Mother's Day. It was alright, the weather wasn't too cold so standing around in the cemetery looking at all the gravestones wasn't so bad either.
SO yeah, christmas afternoon was spent visiting the gravesite of my grandparents.
Gis and I wandered around and you know what is sad? Seeing a grave for the parents, and seeing that only the daughter had died at the age of seventeen. What's worse is going on a bit higher and seeing the gravestone for the same family, for a child of three, and then a child of one day old.
Oldest person who died: 97. Our goal was to find someone over a hundred but they are surprisingly hard to find.
On the brighthand: I didn't have to watch stupid christmas specials! I just got to see the Pink Panther instead, he is classic fun and I despise the newer installment of the series.
