Christmas was brilliant! The trip up to Big Bear was exactly what we needed. Despite it being a bit crowded—I keep forgetting how big this holiday is—we all had a blast. It was just the right amount of relaxation and rejuvenation. Also, I have to admit, seeing the snowy mountaintop for the first time was quite beautiful. I can see why people love the winter holiday so much.
My sister spend most of her time on the ski slopes. Our first morning, Madison and I took lessons. April has been skiing before, so she hit the slopes right away. Then, I met up with April later in the day to ski the mountain together while my sister obsessed over the “very cute” instructor. I almost warned her off this guy, but April assured me it was merely a schoolgirl crush and that I should let it be.
Christmas was quite lovely as well. We had the traditional gift exchange followed by goose for dinner. I have never had goose before, so I must look more into how to cook such a bird.
Most importantly, I think my sister and April finally made up, which means that they both made up with me as well. It is nice not seeing them fight. I actually quite like the three of us getting along as we have. It feels for the first time since my sister and I were stranded here like we have a real family.
Hopefully, when we get back to our day to day lives, it will last.
