I had a sort of epiphany. Not the religious, angels-we-have-heard-on-high type. More of a bucket list addition type.

I want to stay at the Opryland Hotel. I don’t mean just in any room. I want to stay in a room that overlooks the Delta Atrium at some point during the Christmas season.

I don’t expect that to happen any time soon — if at all. But that’s why it’s on my bucket list.

To me, a bucket list item should be something a bit crazy and out there. It shouldn’t be something that’s a normal wish but with a little extra. It should be a WHOLE LOT extra.

But the Delta Atrium is my favorite because that’s where all the good eats are. Plus, there’s a shop that used to have a good music selection at one point. Plus, Opryland Hotel at Christmas time is a vibe that never fails to get me in the holiday spirit.

I am perfectly content to stick to my yearly visits where I ooh and ahh over everything and take 500 pictures (or until my phone runs out of memory). Plus, I have my slice of pizza from Paisano’s and get in my 20,000 steps (or what feels like 20,000 steps).

Maybe when I finally strike it rich . . .
