No worries, I didn’t actually imbibe any alcohol (our ingenious plan to substitute my wine at dinner with the “alcohol removed” variety worked like a charm), but you know what I’m talking about. After all the build-up and stress and preparation, Christmas has now passed us by and we’re left with the remanents: wrapping paper piled into a box, toys scattered around the living room, a now bare looking area underneath the tree and a stack of dishes that need to be either cleaned or put away. Plus that nagging feeling of disappointment that follows you into adulthood. The fun is over, and now life has to return to normal.
We had a good Christmas around these parts. H especially. I think the extra large “Batmobile” stunned him into a stupor. Heck, it stuns me into a stupor too. This thing is nearly as large as my son and makes realistic noises. It is quite possibly the coolest remote control car ever. The boys had a good time running it up and down the street yesterday.
Our holiday with the family went very well. It was nice to have it at our house for a change. Our dinner was fabulous; the turkey was perfect and everything else was great too. All in all, a very happy holiday over here. The cat is still in the bag, re: pregnancy. Go us! I hope everyone else had as nice a Christmas as we did. Season’s Greetings, everyone!
