It’s the day after Christmas. It’s also Flashback Friday. I have a wonderful app called Timehop that shows me what pictures I’ve taken and what I’ve posted on social media on this day each previous year.
Today when I scrolled through 15 years of December 26th memories, I noticed quite a few pictures like this:
And this:
I quickly noticed a pattern. The day after Christmas has traditionally been spent lounging at home working on knitting/crocheting projects or lounging and reading a book. I really think that’s the way it’s supposed to go the day after a holiday.
My favorite days during a holiday break are the ones after the day of cooking and feasting and revelry where Josh and I have gotten comfortable in our respective spots in the living room and watched movies or shows. I think it was 2 years ago I posted a lounging picture and mentioned how we binge-watched the first few episodes of that show “Chernobyl”. By the way, we never finished it because we needed a breather. That show is intensely dark! Of course it is, it’s about the Chernobyl disaster in the moments immediately before and after it happened. But I digress.
We haven’t done much lounging today. We had breakfast, which, was delicious by the way—it involved leftover breakfast casserole from yesterday and these amazing crepes that Josh made:
We then ran a couple of errands. The weather has cooled today so now that we’re back home, it’s the couch, pajama pants, and fuzzy socks. And a movie which remains to be decided.
May all of your “days after” be as relaxing and comfortable as possible.
