Tonight, everyone except me, Lucia, and the kids will go to Midnight celebrations, and I'll have a chance to be alone with my newfound fullness of spirit. Maybe I'll light a candle of my own, remember the people I've lost.
And then after mass, all of my favorite people will come back here to open the first presents of Christmas Day. Arlo and Miles will be here, and I'll get to see Arlo's face all lit up with the joy of the Christmas miracle, and tease him about it.
Tomorrow, Gloria and Marco will arrive from Boston for Christmas Day, and they'll stay all week. Gloria said she's persuaded Conor to come with her as well. I plan to show him a great time, get him drunk and maybe laid while he's here. Poor bastard deserves it.
