Merry Christmas!

It has been a whirlwind of a week! Things have been crazy, company, traveling and just the crazy of making sure the holiday is perfect.

I learned a lesson last week. A friend brought me a gift, one that really shows me she knows who I am. It was a 2-liter bottle of Diet Coke. This is my one vice, one I'm not willing to give up. It also reminded me that giving gifts at Christmas is finding the gift that fits the person. 

We enjoyed a few days with my mom and then my dad, brother and his family joined us on Christmas day. It was a mad-house of gift opening and wrapping paper flying all over and smoke and food and well, that's for another day!
Watching the smiling faces, hearing the shrieks of joy and watching the smiles on everyone's faces made it worth the days of cleaning and shopping (and wrapping, the worst of it all).

Then it was a trip north to visit The Boss's family. My dear sweet nephew was celebrating his first Christmas and it was great fun to share that with him. He had no interest in the gifts, only in getting at the toys inside.
We made it home, although it wasn't as nice as the trip up. Now to get the food done for the retirement party for a coworker of the Boss's tomorrow and a chance to take a couple of days off for some quiet.

The kitties were happy to see us, as they did not like the temp of the house while we were gone. Bitsey curled up in my vest and rode around for an hour or so, reminding me of my pregnancy days. Mickey waited until I sat down and then snuggled up on my lap for an episode or two of the Walking Dead.

Back to work tomorrow, gonna be a cold one and I'm in the drafty Mustang, but at least I have great new socks and mittens to stay warm!

Be Happy! Be Healthy! Be sure to manage some mischief!
