A lonely Jew on Christmas (but not really)

chanalehI should add that this is the first year I've ever spent Christmas in Boston. (Not just "in my adult life", not just "in my Jewish life", both of which are also true, but *ever*.) The first time I've spent it doing anything *other* than family Christmas festivities.
This doesn't make me feel sad -- it's actually a rather pleasant and restful sensation; and I had the option of trying to go do family things, either mine or, as it turned out, Matthew's -- but it does leave me feeling just a bit at sea. Last night in particular, anyway. Though being sick was contributing to that too, I guess: constrained not only by available options and available companions but also by my own available energy. Bleah. Well, but it worked out okay.
But this reminds me that I should go call my grandparents in Florida, and my dad in Indiana, before I go anywhere for the day
