Was it stupid for me to hope that she would come around for Christmas?

It's so strange, being back home. The house is quieter than I remember. Mum's reading room hasn't been touched-
Dad wants to put up decorations tonight when he comes home from work. Normally by now I would have helped Mum with the biscuits but I haven't even decided if it's something I should do. I don't want to treat this as if Mum isn't alive anymore. She's just...gone. Still, Dad seems so depressed, more than I thought he would be. I mean, he knows where Mum went, doesn't he?
I'm trying to convince myself that it's so much better being here at home.

Decorations tonight, thinking about baking. Little traditions are important, yeah? That's what my MuDad always says anyway. I have yet to step outside since I've been here! Maybe I'll go for a walk later on, stretch my legs and some fresh air would be nice!

Regardless if you're excited about Christmas or just happy to be home, I think a nice holiday break is something we could all use. As for myself, I'm looking forward to having my home smell like pumpkin spice and cinnamon. I find those scents so calming, especially on a really cold night.

I might have been lying a little. How am I supposed to have Christmas without Mum? I wouldn't be surprised if Dad doesn't want to do anything. Though I wouldn't put it past him to put on a brave face for me. I wonder if he realizes that he's really a terrible actor. Or maybe I'm just more observant than he gives me credit for. Either way, I could really use a nice distraction for this holiday.

I think Winter is starting to become my favourite season. Seems drastic I know, I was always a Spring kind of girl.
