Christmas accomplished
Canton viaduct, originally uploaded by Lizzie~Belle.
Home, and Christmas is over for another year. I had a nice evening with my mom and niece last night, watching A Christmas Story of course, because we always do.
I was up early this morning, because I always am. Mom made waffles, and we watched Doctor Who all day. I went for a walk down to the viaduct and took some pictures, but otherwise it was a quiet and sedate day.
I went to the annual Yankee Swap at D&G's place, and ended up with the most awful of the awful gifts. It was something indescribable called "Sleepy the Shoe Elf," and it was truly horrible. I laughed so hard, my cheeks still hurt. The best part is, one of the kids asked if she could have it so she could terrorize her father with it, and I was more than happy to part with it. I win.
It was great to see everyone, and even though the crowd was on the small side this year, we all enjoyed the evening. I'm really happy to be back home, with my own bed, and lots of goodies from mom (including a linzer torte that she baked for me this morning!).
I hope you all have had a peaceful, pleasant holiday. They're predicting snow for tomorrow night, so I'm really glad I have nowhere to go. Just like the song says. :)
