Well Santa came to my house last night!!!

So far Christmas has been pretty good. For once my hubby put his foot down with his family and refused to budge from the house. Normally Christmas day is like a constant rush, going from place to place but he said a big fat NO to that this year. Christmas Eve dinner with my parents was here at our house. Prime rib and all the goodies to go with it, homemade profiteroles and gingerbread cake and lots of cookies (fucking cookies, argh). We exchanged little gifts and watched A Christmas Story on the bluray. It was nice and relaxing despite me literally cooking and in the kitchen from the moment I got off work to mealtime. I was wiped out by 10:00pm.

Christmas morning and I got woken up early by our son who was anxious to paw thru the stuff Santa left. I could have happily slept another couple hours. He made out like a bandit - an ipod from us and new inline skates from the Fat Man. Plus a marshmallow gun of all things! Yeah it shoots little marshmallows as bullets! He got assorted Pokemon crap and some other stuff. I got hubby a new ipod as his old one decided to die just in time for Christmas lol. He was totally surprised, I got him pretty good this year. He got me something I have been wanting for a long long time, but could never justify the expense; a Le Creuset dutch oven!!! OMG it is huge and weighs as much as an anvil but it is beautiful. Anyone who is serious about cooking knows the worth of these things, WAY expensive but it will last many lifetimes. I wish he hadn't spent so much on me but I admit - I LOVE IT! Can't wait to cook something in it.

I made a nice breakfast and we ate and zoned out in front of the tv for a bit and then I went back to bed to lay down while the boys futzed with their new toys. I guess I fell asleep because next thing I know hubby is waking me up as his parents and sister had come over to exchange gifts. I woke up with a handprint on the side of my face - I was laying on my hand and it looked like someone smacked me a good one lol. Thankfully it faded. My hand was all numb from laying on it too, I hate that feeling. All numb but then it goes all pins-and-needly on you after. I must have been exhausted to have fallen asleep in such an awkward way.

We exchanged gifts and chatted for a bit and then they left. In a while we will have to take showers and get ready for his families big Christmas dinner. I would rather stay home slobbing around in my robe and eating leftover profiteroles and spinach dip but we gotta do the dance. You know how it is.

I hope everyone has/had a good Christmas/Boxing day...


Puurrs to all,
