Went shopping tonight to pick up stuff for my grandma and aunt's "I'm poor and you have expensive tastes" gift baskets. Target was out of the chocolate bars I wanted so I bought hot chocolate instead... I hope that's okay. I have no idea if either of them drinks hot chocolate. But who doesn't?? Then I went over to my house to wrap the rest of my presents that I hid behind the tree without anybody being there to peek and accidentally see their gifts. Got everything wrapped, grabbed a few things I needed to bring back home to assemble the gift baskets, then right before I was ready to go, Nat King Cole came on the Christmas radio station I was listening to.
So I turned off all the lights in my house except the Christmas tree and I sat on my new couch in my living room, listening to Nat King Cole and having my living room lit by only the tree lights.
And for the first time in a long, long time, it actually felt like home.
