It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

I had a lovely and relaxing Christmas with my family.


We didn't really do anything but goof around on Christmas Eve. Josh watched Pirates of the Caribbean. I watched videos on You Tube for like three hours. We had garlic bread pizza and Chips and Dip. Then we tossed and turned in my parent's spare bedroom.


Around 11:00 am on Christmas Day, Keri and Shawn arrived. We chowed on an appetizer buffet of shrimp cocktail, roast beef and croissant sandwiches, dill dip, and cookies.


As impatient as I am, I quickly steered us into the living room to open presents. My favorite part was the stockings. I love them. My mom tailors the stockings to suite are taste. We look forward to it all year, and were not disappointed again. She gave me two beautiful necklaces, and a pie server! ....among other things.


Christmas is about spending time with family. It was wonderful!


My Amazon.com gift certificate was burning a hole in my pocket. This is what I ordered:
