I think this "You're on your own for the holidays, and you're not going to see your mommy" thing has actually really helped me.

I thought I was going to be glum and sad. I thought I'd miss the holiday traditions of home, and, yeah, when my mom said she had to go yesterday because they were about to drink some delicious Christmas-y alcohol, I was like, DAMN.

But you know what, that's just what's next on my to-do list. Egg Nog. Rum. My mouf.

Without my mom to guide me, I have to do things AS the mom.

Thanksgiving - check
Black Friday - check
Christmas music while putting the tree up - check
Christmas tree up and decorated- check

Now I feel like making Christmas cookies, drinking egg nog, wrapping presents and the like.

BRING IT ON.
