Thursday Threesome

Onesome: Merry: Merry times? Hey, did you have a Merry Christmas? How did things turn out for you and yours after all the work and time you put in preparing for the big day?

We had a very nice day (or actually it was "days"): Christmas Eve we saw The Two Towers. After supper, I couldn't wait anymore: we went upstairs and opened our gifts to ourselves, including James' surprise gift (see Dec. 24). I put some Christmas radio shows on, Willow got her new stuffed squeaky toy (we laughed ourselves silly watching her find the squeaker), and then a bit later we went off to church via a Christmas light survey. (We were disappointed this year; not a lot of creative displays and the Albrittons had already turned their big light display off by the time we got there at 10:15 p.m.) Midnight Mass was lovely, except James and I both got terribly stuffed up by the incense.

Christmas morning we slept late, opened the rest of our gifts, made some goodies for dinner, then watched a couple of Christmas TV programs before going to friends for dinner. It was a big gathering with good food but even better company.

Twosome: Christmas: Christmas presents? Did you get what you wanted from Santa? ...or are you headed back to the stores with the rejects on 'Reverse Shopping Day'?

No returns! I got the Back to the Future trilogy on DVD, an optical mouse and a mouse sander, another DVD, a pretty frame, a Christmas tree sweatshirt, and a big tub full of chocolates that should last until Valentine's Day.

Threesome: Everyone! Is everyone back to the normal routine today, like work and homemaking and such. ...or are you still entertaining? ...or maybe just taking a well deserved break from it all?

Well, I was supposed to be back to the routine...except I also seem to have caught a cold and am cold and hot by turns with a sore throat. What a way to spend "the feast of Stephen"! The holiday isn't over yet: we still have another gift exchange New Year's Eve, plus a party, and our own Twelfth Night party on January 4 (which is only eleventh night, but who cares?). Hey, I'm Italian--Christmas isn't over until January 6; don't rush it!
