Further Christmas Updating.
I think I've said it before, but Christmas when you're a grown-up sure is a lot of work. I don't mean that in a bad way. I'm certainly not griping. It's just that before this year I don't think I really appreciated just how much work it is. M. and I cooked and cleaned non-stop both yesterday and today, just to have a handful of guests over. This is going to be crazy if and when we have kids.
Christmas at our place for the first time was wonderful. Everyone was wonderfully surprised with their gifts and very happy. Thanks to my mom I now have a heavy metal guitarist nutcracker adorning my shelf. Well, I actually think he's more of a punk guitarist nutcracker but that's okay :) I also have new clothes and M. basically got an entire new kitchen. She'll be cooking style from now on, which makes all of us happy. After my parents left we had over a couple that we're friends with and their two young daughters and we had a fun time watching Christmas shows, eating, and talking.
Just... wow. So much work. I feel good and mellow but know if I stop moving I'll fall asleep. I hope everyone else's Christmas turned out to be good too.
