All in all we had a good Christmas holiday. We had the Wadsworth family Christmas dinner on the 23rd...it was nice to see the whole family together...It's sad that we don't get together with them more, but because of things that happened long before I came along, I really doubt that I will get John to see them more.
Christmas Eve we spent with my family at our house. I made a turkey dinner, but as usual I made way too much food. We literally could have fed both families and then some.
And this year, I became of victim of John's holiday present hunt. I thought that since I was his wife, I would be immune to this 'tradition' of his. My stocking gave me the first clue that I may be in trouble. He had placed 2 earrings...one from each set....in my stocking....along with a card of instructions....His first hint wasn't that hard as one of them ended up being on the tree...however, the next clue made me go outside...Luckily it wasn't snowy or raining.....but I only came to find out that the rest of the gifts were inside...This was his year to fill my jewelry box with cute necklace and earring sets.
I then went to Christmas morning mass with my mom and then came home and we celebrated Christmas Day back at the Wadsworth's...minus Tom & Lisa and their family...which is the norm since they spend it with Lisa's family, hence why we have the extra dinner with just the family...Dinner there was great as usual and for dessert we had the biggest cupcake I've ever seen.
Friday, we went out shopping for post holiday deals. I thought John was kidding when he said we were getting up at 6AM....oh no....we were up that early and out by 6:30...that was way early....but we got some good deals on clothes and coats. and I stocked up on on cards, wrapping paper and some other items for next year.
By the time we got home and as night came on, John some how caught a cold and boy is he miserable. So the rest of the weekend he spent curled up in bed or on his recliner. Hopefully he will be better for New Years.
