It's a quiet Christmas morning for us today. The pets are fed and watered. I gave treats to the dog and cat. I have no Christmas gifts to give at this time. I don't have any to receive. We're treating Christmas day as an ordinary day. We've quit giving each other gifts for a while. We don't mind it. Our relatives send packages and gifts, which we appreciate. That's what's Christmas is like in our house. I guess you can call us depressed. But we're on a fixed income. We only have disposable money for the grocery bill. We're looking forward to the new year when our Social Security checks will go up significantly. Then maybe we can have some more to spend on stuff. I don't know what the future will be like next year. This COVID is keeping us inside. We don't have much to do outside. Our friends are doing the same thing. Everyone's hunkered down and it's costing eveyone their cheerfulness. I hope next year COVID will end. Then maybe things will go back to normal. People can travel and see each other socially. I'd like that very much. I wish to meet new people in 2022.
