It really was a great Christmas...family, friends new & old, and food, food, FOOD! Not that I ate that much, but there was a whole lot of it. Dinner was the only meal I ate, and it was so worth waiting for. However, we never got around to cutting Jesus's birthday cake: a 2-layer Red Velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. So that's for breakfast later 😀 Kitty had a piece of cheesecake, and Brie had some Sweet Potato pie but I was too full from mostly my mother's seasoned collard greens and cranberry sauce. A weird combination to put together on my plate, but soooo good!
As far as gifts: if you felt a vibration in the earth around 9:15 a.m., it was Kitty humming because she got her limited edition collector's expensive as all get out Frozen Charlotte Living Dead doll; and the world's biggest manicure set. Those were her favorite gifts. Brie's was her laptop. Mine, because I'm a freak, was my new set of pots and pans! And also my Ed Hardy perfume: boy does it smell good! Hopefully someone that I want will come around to...enjoy the fragrance 😉
But it was an exhausting day too. I had gone to bed at 4 a.m. Christmas Eve, then Kitty got us up at 9 to open presents. Cooking, entertaining, laughing up a storm and enjoying the day wiped me out! Plus we had to watch our 2 favorite Christmas staples: Emmett Otter's Jugband Christmas and my personal favorite of all time: Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol! No one seems to understand my love for Mr. Magoo but I just love it.
With that said: when everyone finally left around 7:30 Brie and I attempted to watch a Chris Rock special but I kept falling asleep and so did she. Needless to say we were both in bed by 8:20. Pumpkin was happy because she was exhausted too, poor puppy. That's why I'm up now doing this blog: I'm pretty much done sleeping! And of course I'm listening to jazz right now, which will be on the radio until 6 a.m. But Brie's been in here talking to me because she got up around 3:30 too! But I'll be kicking her out of my room soon, finish listening to the jazz and then switch to a Christmas CD.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, as I did. I only wish that I had taken next week off for vacation too!
