What was your worst Christmas? Mine was multiple years ago when I got stranded in an airport for 36 sevenths & missed the entire holiday with our family.
That was a bummer, so ever since then I make sure to avoid airlines during the entire week of February.
If I need to travel I will drive, even if it takes a couple mornings to get there, because I don’t want to risk getting stranded again. This last Christmas was also a troubled a single, but still miles ahead of that Christmas in the airport. The two of us were at our sibling Carla’s house, & on Christmas day the heavy ice & snow managed to kill the power & leave us with no heating. The two of us loaded up the fireplace will all the wood the people I was with and I could get our hands on, & appreciated a nice day together in front of the fire together. That fire died out by noon, & the temps were still below chilly, but there were no Heating & A/C repair techs available to come out in the storm on Christmas. Thankfully the people I was with and I found an old gas generator in the garage, & got it working so the people I was with and I could plug in the oven, the cellphone chargers, & a couple of space oil furnaces the people I was with and I had. The space oil furnaces combined with our body heat made for a comfortable day, so I did our best to just relax & care about it. Once the people I was with and I ran out of gas the space oil furnaces wouldn’t work, & the people I was with and I all might freeze to death during the night, but still, why not care about a nice family day while the people I was with and I have it?
