GC and I went out boxing day shopping yesterday afternoon, just to see what it’s like. We went to Carlingwood Mall, but we didn’t buy anything. We couldn’t figure out what all the hoopla was about – the sale prices didn’t seem all that spectacular to us.
Christmas was pleasant and peaceful. I ended up doing a little bit of Christmas decorating after all – I put a Santa hat on a mannequin. My son came over and he and GC and I shared a delicious turkey dinner with all the fixings. The 5-second rule had to be invoked because all the white meat ended up briefly on the kitchen floor. Duncan was delighted.
Tonight we’re having a second Christmas dinner with some of my siblings from out of town. (All of my siblings are from out of town, actually…but some of them are coming for dinner.) It’ll be roast beef with all the fixings.
Update: My siblings are dropping like flies. Bone infections, stomach flus…
Haha! That picture is priceless! And even without the non-reduction in price, who is buying Christmas wrapping paper on December 27th anyway?
Merry HannuKwanzaChristmas, ma’am. I discern that the spirit of the season is with you.
Oh, and? If any more relatives, or turkeys, drop, you know how to find me. I could help you and Duncan with that white meat. Or the roast beast. I ain’t picky…
My Christmas dinner ended up swimming in a plate of spilled wine… unfortunately the five second rule was no help there!
Hope Duncan got a proper Christmas feast and you all had a wonderful holiday!
Just to be a pedant I was raised to be, boxing day is actually only the 2nd day of Christmas (the 12 days are between when Jesus is born, and when he is revealed to be the son of god to the magi, on Epiphany)
Anyways, that out of the way, Merry Christmas! Too bad the siblings got sick, but I hope that means extra feasting for you!
I love the photo!
