Dave and I returned home on Saturday afternoon, and I spent the next 2 1/2 days sleeping away a cold that arrived along with Christmas Eve. A snowstorm on Saturday kept us inside our warm apartment, and we spent a lazy Sunday in our pj's all day long because we didn't feel like doing much else. It was quite the contrast to the days leading up to Christmas.
I've never really been a fan of the in-between, the days following the excitement of Christmas and leading up to the New Year. To me, New Year's Eve paled in comparison to all the fun we'd had the week before. This year, in fact, I keep forgetting that we have another holiday to celebrate at the end of the week.
Instead of being sad about another Christmas come and gone now that we're in the in-between, I've been enjoying the unique time we have in this week. Dave still has time off from work, and although I'm working a few days this week, I'm enjoying the quiet at an office where at least half of my coworkers are off for the week. Our evenings have been more relaxed, too, with simpler meals and movie nights.
We'll have some celebrating to do when we welcome 2010 at the end of the week, but for now, I'm celebrating the in-between.
