Boxing Day

[seldear]

I wish everyone reading this would have as relaxing and non-stress a Christmas Day as I did. We came, we helped set up, we ate, we helped clean up, we veged out for 7 hours and went home. No family fights, arguments, tantrums, or conflicts.

Not much loot, but then, we agreed this was to be a fairly low-key Christmas, so the items I did get were practical and open-ended. Bike accessories from the parentals, Max Brenner chocolate from B2, and B1 donated money to a Christian group on my behalf - which is good, because I'm too lazy/greedy to donate it myself! The stepbros and cousins all gave us vouchers - video and Christian bookstore - which suits me fine.

*hugs* skydiver119, tv_elf, and cheekygal again. Thanks, ladies!

Oh, and ultimate Christmas Day gift? I got paid for half the work I did during Nov/Dec. Which means my bank account is not a big fat $0, and I will be able to a) pay for Christmas presents, b) pay the bloody mortgage that's been worrying me.

Now to resist the Boxing Day sales. Eek!

a partridge in a pear tree (JL)."

The package arrived? Great! I wondered if it would get there in time. Does the jacket fit?

Actually, it hasn't. But I know it's coming, so... :)

Your icon is great! :)

Being paid is always a good thing. Happy Christmas, Sel!

And, LOL, I loved the Christmas card. Made me grin on Christmas Eve when I got it (just in time, too!)

Ah, timing!

Glad it got there in time for Christmas! I think quite a few other people weren't quite so lucky on that front. *blushes*

I swear next year I'll be more organised! Really.
