"Santa was here!" my neice exclaimed as she came down the stairs at an ungodly hour on Christmas morning. Which was o.k., because her Mom and brother had already been up for an hour or so. My nephew came into the family room where I was sleeping and the tree was located and attempted to confiscate my little sister's Christmas present about 5 or 5:30 a.m. Considering I had gone to bed around 3:30 a.m. I was very happy to be awake! But who can get mad at little cuties like him and his sisters? Not me.
All in all it was a fantastic Christmas with great food (thanks!) fun presents, family and of course, after Christmas sales! I picked up the first season of Psych on dvd for $19.99 - woohoo! I love that darn show! I also got a pre-lit tree for $7, so it was a trip worth taking. Everyone must have had to work the day after Christmas because the stores were surprisingly not that crowded. Actually, Christmas Eve wasn't too bad either. I was even at the mall on Christmas Eve and had no problems. I finished my shopping and with the exception of a shipping problem for a gift for a friend, everything arrived and/or was found with time to spare.
My SIL made the best ham for dinner and her yummy stuffing. It was yummy-licious! We didn't have any turkey, so I am having turkey withdrawals this year. I'm going to have to pick up a turkey breast for dinner this weekend!
But now it's time to buckle down and stop spending money. My family does not really go crazy at Christmas spending tons of money, so luckily I don't have that to worry about, just the student loans from hell. Ah, I'm so glad I went for a post-graduate degree.
Oh - I saw National Treasure Book of Secrets on Friday and it was great! I enjoyed it thoroughly. For those that saw the first National Treasure, you know what is in store for you. It is a little Indiana Jonesesqe. The first movie gave you more history than the second. Book of Secrets was more action, but very enjoyable. If you are looking for a funny action adventure flick, this one is for you. Check it out. Nicholas Cage is great and I love the guy that plays Riley.
Well, I should get back to work. Everyone stay out of the snow tomorrow!
Until next time -
