It was really nice being pregnant at Christmastime. And telling everyone good news, just like the original chrissy. It was quite miraculous, i thought, that you can have something in your body that is a human, hiding out for a while. I know it didn't stay very long, but I am starting to forget what it was like, and I don't want to forget. People wrote us christmas cards that included the baby. We told people we wanted to call it Grover and everyone hated us. I was sick and hungry simultaneously and really high maintenance. I drank mineral water instead of beer on Christmas night. We bought a juicer for Christmas and I did a lot of work with carrot and beetroot and ginger.
We sang carols.
This is one of my favorites.

It was delicious, wasn't it? Especially the thinking about what next Christmas was going to be like ...
We'll get there, baby.
