I have finished my Christmas shopping AND I have wrapped all of the presents.
oneandonlymatt had a couple more things left to get.
Friday night was my company Christmas party. It was at my house. Usually we do a huge blow-out at a local restaurant. Party dresses, appetizers, full meal, open bar...the whole nine. This year, much like a lot of companies, we were going to cancel the whole thing to save some money. Well, see, I think it is rare when you work for a company where you genuinely enjoy spending time with the people you work with. I just wanted to have a party, so I offered to have one at my house. We made it a pot-luck and a BYOB and I think everyone had a great time.
Now I am ready for Christmas. We leave for Michigan on the evening of the 19th as soon as I get off of work. It'll be late. We'll drive until northern Kentucky or something and then head out again in the morning. Matt and I will open our presents to each other the day before we leave. Yay for early Christmas/Solstice. Truth is, we usually do that on the Solstice, but since we are leaving so early this year we'll have to do it before then. I am so excited about one of Matt's presents!
Yay for limited Christmas Stress. The only other thing I am dealing with right now is the gallbladder thing, so that is plenty of stress for now. No new updates right now, but I'll keep you informed.
