We ran some errands on Monday. Then I went outside to dig up the rest of my carrots from the garden. We were both looking forward to not leaving the house for a couple of days.
Tuesday was Christmas Eve. We each ended up having to run out for a short while. I changed my mind about a gift for my sister, and went to get her a different one. I expected holiday traffic to be bad, but it wasn't as bad as the day before. Cyn baked a chicken for supper, and afterwards we opened our presents. From each other, but also some that her kids had sent.
Today we had a leisurely morning. Then we went down to her sister Melissa's place, along with their mother, their other sister Devonne, her son Ian and girlfriend Sara, Melissa's husband John, and his two brothers. And Melissa's cat Timmy.
Then we drove back up to my mom's for Christmas dinner with her, and my sister's family. The niece got One Direction stuff, and water speakers. The nephew got Packer stuff. And owl puke.
My mom got me a case of ginger beer. My sister got me a bottle of whisky (among other things). I was surprised, since my mom is so opposed to me drinking. We all chipped in to get my mom a DVR. I have to go back and set it up. And my niece will have to show her how to use it.
I hope your holidays were/are good!
