The Christmas season is officially over, at least in the Roman rite. Tomorrow is Epiphany in the Church. I think it was on Friday actually. At least, iTunes finished their 12 days of Christmas giveaways then.
Today was a 3 M kind of day: Massage, museum, and movie. I had scooped a Team Buy coupon for an hour-long massage so enjoyed a Hawaiian Lomilomi massage, which is a little different than I normally have. Apparently, the massage therapist tells me the movements are like a hula dance. It was relaxing and healing.
From there, I joined my younger goddaughter’s family at the Circus Exhibit at the Manitoba Museum which is a very cool opportunity for kids of all ages to experience the circus. The exhibition had an excellent balance of both hands on activities and facts. We were able to try to guess whose dung was whose, read about animal facts like lions cannot purr—they only roar, step out on a high wire, and do some acrobatic spinning. The man at the desk told me we would be able to go through the display in half an hour. Two and a half hours we were still marveling at all that we could do and explore.
A couple of friends had suggested seeing the movie New Year’s Eve so I took my older goddaughter to that tonight. We both laughed. I cried. She of course asked rather loudly, ‘are you crying?” “I always cry,” I responded, which is true.
So as Christmas packs up and moves on until next year, I can sigh that I celebrated well, giving out and receiving the last gifts of the season this day.
Peace,
Suzanne
