Seriously.
Thanks to everyone for the sweet birthday wishes, Merry Christmas-es,
and comments in general...May this Christmas be the most memorable,
most special, most joyous and most glorious for you and yours!
Today I walked in circles throughout the mall for what seemed like
hours, (and, in fact, it was...) and I realized upon exiting the Land
of Spending to Death that I had heard no Christmas music. None! This is
perhaps due to the near-deafening roar of shoppers and overall
commotion, but you would think one's very pores would be ringing with
jingling bells and halls that have been decked repeatedly...
Oh well. I sang my own little carols to make up for the lack about me.
My family attended a candlelight service at our church this evening
before heading over to my aunt and uncle's house to share in one of the
joys the season brings: namely, White Elephant Gifts.
I got the most awesome gift to contribute towards the family tradition
this year - usually I end up giving the most tacky thing (or nearly)
that is unwrapped, but THIS year I found a BUG VACUUM!!!!
I wanted it for myself to be absolutely honest, and may very well have
kept it if I had less sense or more greed, but I couldn't pass up
giving it to some unsuspecting cousin or other and seeing their
reaction. Adrian ended up choosing it, to his chagrin and his wife's
utter delight. I'm not sure why she adored it so much, but she was
quite upset when my Uncle Al stole it from her...
Next year, I'm keeping it.
My brother John is here from Los Angeles, and since my two other
brothers were unable to make it we are very thankful to have him here
with us for the holiday.
God bless each and every one of you! Merry Christmas!
Love,
SQ
