Christmas

So this year as I said before we’re doing our own traditions. Which I was so happy about! We went out the night before Christmas Eve and met up with Joe the bartender and his friends. They’re our age which is really cool and all Irish which is hard to understand when you get drunk. So we went out and on Christmas Eve morning we woke up, made our coffee, and unwrapped our gifts to each other. Mr. D got an autographed photo of Burt Reynolds with 4 original Smokey & the Bandit film strips, a pair of dress beach pants, a thermal, two sauces, a step counter, and a make your own sauce recipe book. I got my own tool kit, a perfume puff, some good smelling lotion, chocolate truffle bread mix, real hot cocoa, espresso chocolates and a Panini recipe book. I think it’s funny we both got each other cook books.
My mother as always gets me the fun stuff I want. This year I got a bread maker, sewing machine and for the first time ever an awesome new purple pea coat that fits my arms. I’ve never had a women’s coat fit my arms before; because they’re so long. The Mr. got an army issue laptop cause, Super Mario for the Wii, and a deep fryer, along with a bunch of knickknacks and small things. My parents always seem to get us the fun stuff that we love and use.
The in-laws got us some gift cards, Mr. got a some new shoes and slippers and a sweater and some other things and I got a really nice bracelet a nice coat, scarf and gloves and some pajamas. Mr. D’s dad got me a 3 photo frame with these amazing black and whites in them. Turns out his dad took them from Mendon Park and they’re great. There’s a 10pt in one and a stream and woods and it fits my style perfectly. Mr. D got an awesome military carry bag for all of his ammo and gun accessories and I got 5 new large multi photo frames.
So everything is put away and most of the frames are up and filled. The bread maker and sewing machine will be used this week to make a new skirt and some awesome cheese bread.
All in all it was a good Christmas and the gift of giving was everywhere. That’s not really what matters though, Christmas is about the birth of Jesus and the gifts he brought to us, hence the gifts we give to each other.

I don’t want to get into religion and all that but I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas weekend.
