Dear ... Christmas & New Years

It is almost Christmas and soon it will be New Years, and I do not have any plans. My family is, how can I put it, all over the place and I am here. Everyone is asking the big question of

"What are your plans?"

I don't have any.

I'm not doing the big family dinner because that table has been vacant for years, or at least I should say my seat has been collecting cobwebs. But I also keep telling myself I don't believe in Christmas anyway. New Years is more important.

Ok, they ask "What are your plans for New Years?"

I don't have any, yet.

In the back of my mind I am hoping my knight in shining armor will whisk me away somewhere special, but my knight has other duties. Duties that I am aware of but not a part of. My friends' knights are free to come to their rescue and unfortunately there is no room on the white horse for one more damsel.

So for now I will sit inside my tower. Waiting. And dreaming of a table with people and laughter and someone kissing the back of my neck ,sitting next to me and wishing me Happy Holidays.
