I should be making candy for the family Christmas party or at least doing my laundry so I can pack but I am doing neither. I think I have decided that I will not be making candy to take this year. I did make cinnamon almonds to take and I picked up a huge jar of cashews. I think that will be my contribution. We are not required to bring anything of course but I always do. I just don't seem to have the enthusiasm for Christmas this year.
I think there are a variety of reasons but primarily I am just tired and I also sad that my youngest son won't be home for Christmas this year. He is flying out the week before to spend the holidays with his fiance in Seattle and won't be home till the new year. For the first time in his life, he won't be spending Christmas with me. I am sad. I haven't said that to him because I don't want him to feel bad or to worry about me. He's an adult and will be moving out there permanently when he finishes college. That makes me sadder. It isn't as if it is a few hours away. I live in MI.
So I am tired and mad and I am pouting. I will go and enjoy the Christmas party because this may be the last time he attends. It is a weekend event and it is always fun but my heart is heavy. Of course I will suck it up and smile and pretend it's all great but I will be sad underneath.

I think all Mom's are sad when the kids are doing other things during holidays. 
I hope you enjoy your weekend party with him. Your cinnamon almonds sound divine!
