Warm Wishes

Happy Christmas!

...I spent my Eve sleeping and baking and watching/re-watching A Christmas Story on some 24-hour tv marathon. I produced roughly 130 of the chocolate chip cookies I grew up on. 130! ...Straight out of my Memaw's cookbook. Is it lame that I'm kind of excited to finally be that neighbor?... You know, the one who drops off home-made cookies and a cute little note? Look at me, I get a day off and transform into Holly Homemaker.

Since we've decided to skip the whole gift-giving thing this year, I decided mass amounts of sugar might help fill the void. Sugar and butter. Lots of butter.

Matt and I did stuff each other's stockings in lieu of big gifts this year. I had a little fun with it. Got him an Optimus Prime figurine after we saw the movie and he was all excited about it... Got him a few airplane-sized bottles of Jack D. A little inside joke involving nearly every plane ride I've witnessed Matt take over the course of the past 6 years. Lots of candy, of course.... And another PSP game. We do an ornament exchange every year too... Which is funny because we have yet to put a full-sized tree up. Ever. ...In due time, I suppose.

Well, better get some sleep. I have a long, hard day of couch-potatoing and stuffing myself silly tomorrow.

Warm wishes to you and yours...
