Ghost of Christmas past...

This year was just different. Here's some background:

Andy's birthday: November 14
Lindsay's birthday: November 21
Thanksgiving: November 24
Gail working 3-4 part-time jobs through the holiday season.
Celebrate holidays with in-laws: December 18
Christmas Eve family meal and celebration @ my parents: (December 24)
Christmas morning family meal and celebration: (December 25)
Anniversary: (December 27)
Family meal etc.: December 28

Gail said that it feels different because all of the kids are older. I think that's probably true. I also was disconnected to a church family this year. I'm sure that's part of it also. Mostly though, it was scheduling. The whole season seemed as if it was squeezed together.
