Merry Christmas
This is the first time in 14 years where I didn't have to get on a plane if I wanted to celebrate Christmas in Chicago with my family. 14 years!
Even though it was my choice to move back here, sometimes I forget why and wish I was somewhere else.
Then my mom called me at work on Friday with a problem she was having (which is unusual for her). We talked for several minutes, and I told her everything was going to be OK. At the end of the call she said she was sorry to have called me at work and that sometimes she just needed someone to talk through her problems. I told her it was fine and that I was glad she called. She ended with call with "I'm glad you're back," and as she said "I love you" I could hear a little emotion in her voice, which of course got me all flustered.
And that's why I moved back to Chicago.
Anyway, if you have seven minutes, the Sweeney Sisters would like to wish you Merry Christmas.

Okay, either I'm emotional from over-indulging in whiskey and other things last night, or that was the sweetest story ever, cause I nearly cried. I fought it off, and then rocked some Sweeney Sisters WITH Bill Shatner, and now I'm back in a happy place.
We're glad you're back in town too, Cherry. Merry X-Mas.
Merry Christmas Cherry. I just got back in town, and loved reading (viewing) this post.
I agree...this story really gets to you after days of overindulging and family stuff and drinking and togetherness.
Merry Christmas to you too.

This is so lovely - I'm thinking of moving home myself for this very reason.
