Happy Wintermas!
This year, this Christmas/.Giftmas, was the best one in a long time. Much less stress, even if there was more of me being in pain. I think everyone went away happy, content, full of good food (omg, best prime rib ever!) and with a nice array of the perfect, much appreciated gifts.
Ardyn bought me a Ukelele, somethign I have been wanting for a very long time, but never felt brave enough to buy for myself. Now I have no excuse, I need to learn! His name is Hani Keawe, Happy Thread, which seems most suitable for the tidy, simple handsome boy he is, and the instrument of a fiber addict..
We gave my mother many nice things, but the biggest thing is a large sepia print of my wyfe, me, my two sisters and mum sitting together at a holiday table laughing, with the title Gladney Women. She cried and we were extremely proud.
Socks for the siters and the mum and fancy gift bags for the more mundane gifts, like gift cards and such. The H sib got me wonderful fairy tale cookbooks I have coveted for a while, the B sib got us a beautiful lantern for our bedroom, and Ardyn got Moscow Mule copper mugs, a lovely hand made skirt, and the muchly useful gift of shopping!
Everyone got something handmade and personal, everyone got something practical and something fun, and everyone enjoyed each other's company, no fuss , no drama, and the teens behaved as perfectly as I could have asked, we even all made music together, and I have promised to learn enough basic chords to play with the singing next year, gulp.
I am in a fair bit of pain, but I don't evne mind, I am just ...
content. It is a nice feeling.
Meet Hani Keawe. Isn't he handsome?
