Merry Christmas!
I worked on Christmas Eve until noon, then went home and cleaned up a bit. My mom cooked a wonderful feast for five and I made oyster stuffing, which turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself. It seems to be an acquired taste. My great-grandma used to make it and my mom said it took her back. I managed to forget to put foil around the edge of the apple pie, thanks to the two glasses of wine I had, and the pie crust was black and crispy. Should drinking and baking be illegal?
Doug came over for dinner and brought me a Christmas cactus, which is what I asked for. I named her Isabelle. Yes, I talk to my plants. Then, we went out and stopped by a few friends' houses. I tried to get Doug to go to a church service with me, but had no luck, so I did not attend a church service this year.
For Christmas, I got some cash and gift cards from my folks and sister along with a digital camera that records video, MP3, and acts as a voice recorder. Merlin and I played with it last night.
I got a necklace from Doug and Queen's "A Night at the Opera" 30th Anniversary CD and DVD as well as the book and soundtrack for "Wicked."
I had a wonderful Christmas and feel so blessed and spoiled. I went home after having Christmas dinner with Doug's folks and felt so fat, but I thought, "At least I can say I feel full when there are millions going to bed hungry all of the time."
Doug and I went back to his place and watched season one of "The Muppet Show." That show was so funny! I watched all the time when I was little, but I never realized how geared towards adults that show was. I laughed my ass off during every episode. "Mahna Mahna" is even funnier, now.
