This year Christmas was better than usual for me. Not just because I worked Christmas Eve, came home and opened gifts before turning in for the morning. There was just something different this year...
Joe and I had to keep it low key because money is tight, as it is for everyone, but that still isn't it. For me it has always been about the holiday spirit, not about who got what at what price. I could care less about that. There just seemed to be an overall sence of peae and calmness that has been lost most other years.
I think this year was such a nice one because I got virtually everything I asked for. My wish list was really honored and that seemed to make a huge impact on the way I felt. I have been cooking up a storm ever since because all I really wanted was kitchen goodies and gadgets. 500 cupcakes aren't going to bake themselves.
With money from my parents & Joe's parents I was able to buy a new cookware set that I've been lusting after for about 2 years. We were also able to purchase a new over the range microwave. It will be nice for Joe to not have to lug out the current microwave because I refuse to loose the counter space over it. Other than that Joe got DVD's, games, ornaments, books and gift cards.
The only snafu this year was the "flannel granny jammies" Joe bought for me~ cute, but wrong size. Based on his decription of me ("big boobed midget"), I'm near impossible to guess a size for. Yes, we all are having a good laugh over that one.
Well, Merry Christmas & we hope that you got everything you wanted this year!
