The Final Tally

Phew! It's over. All that work for that one little day. I sure hope Baby Jesus is happy with himself. Actually, though, I ended up having a great Christmas- lots of holiday cheer and festivities. C and I had a lovely day, starting with my darling mother making us Christmas breakfast, followed by a ridiculous room full of presents to be unwrapped and a dinner the likes of which you will probably never see in your life, unless you happen to get invited to one of my family functions.

I was very impressed with the thoughtfulness of gift-giving this year. Chris got me a new little Fuji camera! I like to think it's because he's such a love and not because he was tired of me stealing his, but either way I have a new obsession. He also got me some delicious smelling perfume (euphoria), some awesome skull wellie boots from Steve Madden, a coffee grinder (yay!), and a couple other little things. Best. Boyfriend. Ever.

In keeping with tradition, my parents went a little beserk with the gifts. Chris, me, my sister, and my sister's boyfriend all got a gift certificate to do this: rest assured, there will be lots of pictures! I also received some riding boots, clothes, a crock pot, and lots of gift certificates. No lie, I'll be drinking Dunkin' Donuts coffee for free well into the summer of '07. I'll also be shopping at Ikea, Pier 1, Netflix, and J. Crew right quick.

With that, I am signing off to do some more lazing about. True to my word, it is 2:30 in the afternoon and I haven't yet considered getting out of my pajamas. Hope you're all well-rested and had a wonderful holiday. And if you're at work today, well, I'm very sorry for you. Merry Day After Christmas!
