Daddy's Little Girl - Fourth Edition

I've always tried to be around people during holidays, even when we were overseas or invite single soldiers with no family. Can you have a little get together with friends this year instead?
I'm sure if I made a comment to someone I would get an invite.. but I don't want to do that. I don't like people feeling obligated.

Why don't you do the inviting? Just one or maybe two friends. Invite them for coffee or a light lunch. Invite them to the movie, though maybe not on Christmas Day.
 
I love the look of snow, so pure and untouched.
But I don't like driving in it, or even riding in it as Wolfie's passenger seat princess.
 
I did reach out to some friends and we are going to do coffee somewhere in that time frame. They don't come to my place as they are allergic to my cat.
I understand them. I'm allergic to cats as well I have been allergic since I was just crawling. My eyes were always red and my nose would run. My parents finally figured out that it was the cat.
 
This is like a longer explanation for the "safe enough to be soft".
That's what I thought too. It's wonderful to just be yourself, not having to hide away parts of you that the world either wouldn't understand or would bully you for. Yesterday was a prime example of me feeling safe and soft. After church, we came home and unleashed the playful and silly. We used the time to put up our Christmas tree while listening to music. We danced a little, sang along to familiar songs, literally in no hurry. Afterward, we made hot chocolate and snuggled. Later, I joined him in the kitchen and helped with prepping vegetables, then stayed while he cooked. We had lots of good conversation. I shared how lonely this time of year can be for me, and how, being on the inside of the business, seeing what goes into prepping for a job, I worry more about safety. He didn't become defensive or dismissive. It was a great conversation. Calm, caring, concerned & loving.
And he reminded me that I get to go to a NYE masquerade party!
