79. I am alone but with

Friends on line. I don't usually celebrate xmas myself.. I have no tree, or brightly colored wrapped gifts, or stockings hung on the chimney with care... There is no window that even faces the street, so no wreaths, or any of the cool things that come alone with it..

I do have my little Daruma to keep me COMPANY tonight
