Soon It Will Be Christmas Day!

Dec 24, 2015 17:35

I hope you are all having pleasant holidays thus far! And that you got your Christmas shopping done! No one wants to have to hit a store tonight, let me tell you. Once a friend asked me to run him to Meijer on Christmas Eve so he could pick up some last minute gifts for his family. When we went into the store, it was so crazy in there - not ( Read more... )

it was just really nice, the two of us, out together on a Saturday night, peaceful and fun.

Lovely. I wish you many peaceful and fun moments in 2016. :)

I will take them when they come, for sure! Yes, that Christmas concert was just a wonderful evening. <3

I did all of my Xmas shopping early, too, since most of it gets sent elsewhere. The only thing I did late was stumble onto some Firefly Funko Pops (and a six inch Jayne action figure), which I HAD TO GET for TAH(tm), myself, and our "adopted" daughter (one of my former students whom we love SO MUCH, who usually stays with us instead of her parents when she's in town).

TAH(tm) gave me both a new Kindle AND the silver/gold Leaf on the Wind pendant. And we opened everything last night so we could sleep in today. Ha!

Love to you and yours, dearie - and I hope things continue to go well for Mom post-surgery.

Oooohhh. That is a must-have, for sure! Sis got one of the official 12 inch Jayne's. When I saw it, I thought it was for me, but she was all, "Hands off, he's mine!" Well, you know I threw down about that. She can have the action figure, but she best know who Jayne belongs too! (he came with a bunch of weapons and they are all in the trunk of the pseudo-impala she has.

Idk which is a better score! Excellent presents! I got San Andreas and Jurassic World and the spinner ring I asked for (I gave her options on the design, cuz I couldn't decide, but she picked the four elements since I am so into Avatar Airbender stuff right now) and the video game I asked for too. We both scored!

Love to you and yours, dearie - and I hope things continue to go well for Mom post-surgery.Thank you. She was scheduled to go home to my aunt's house today but instead went to the hospital by ( ... )

That ring sounds like it's made of pure awesome. (How adorable that Jayne's weapons are being used for hunting twelve inch monsters and demons!)

Well, crap. I'm sorry to hear that she's got the pneumonia and possible sepsis. Those are always both post-op risks, of course, but harder to handle the older someone is. :( I definitely hope that the news gets better, but I can totally understand why Canadian brother drove home just in case. Scary stuff.

Please let me know if there's anything at all I can do (though I know there's probably not much).

I do all my Christmas shopping on line, too. I wouldn't be caught dead in any store (except a grocery) from mid-November until early January. Glad to hear your mom is doing well. The Christmas concert sounds lovely. I hope you've had a very nice Christmas.

Aboslutely1 I feel you on that! The week before Thanksgiving Sis was like, "Make a list of anything you need from Target because I'm not going there again until after the new year." Which was ridiculous, because we go there at least once a week, sometime twice, so there was no way she was making it six weeks without a trip to Target, but it was a valiant effort on her part, lol.

We had a very nice Christmas indeed, thank you! You?

yeuxdebleu January 9 2016, 01:42:50 UTC

We don't have a Target store anywhere near us...the nearest one is over 1-1/2 hours away. But we go to Walmart once a week and skipped a couple of weeks when we knew the store would be very crowded.

Yes, we had a nice Christmas. Very quiet, just the two of us, but I made a lovely dinner. Same again for New Year's Eve/Day. We really don't like to be on the roads on holidays. Too many wacky (or drunk) drivers around here.

The concert sounds like it was a very lovely evening.

We weren't having very Christmas like weather here in Nebraska either. Then Christmas eve it dumped 6 inches of snow on us and hasn't warmed up since!

The Christmas concert was actually really nice, yes - fun and peaceful at the same time.

I think it rained here on Christmas, but no snow. We got a very small amount about four days ago, stuck to the ground. It was 12F maybe. Now it's 45F and the snow has all melted again. I went out yesterday with just my over shirt on, no coat. IDEK what's going on with the weather gods or how I feel about it!

But I know right now while I am tying this, you are on a cruise experiencing about 75F, so that's something good!
