Christmas Day....

It has been most enjoyable Christmas Day. We all ate like little pigs. A's house is decorated so festive...see A's tree? I did not get the chihuahua....I did not get a lot of green stuff with the presidents picture on it...but I did receive 2 Texas Hold'em games and a book about life in Tehran. N looked at them and me and said if I was turning into a gambling Arab. ha ha Maybe I am? M gave me a 3 foot stuffed penguin, it is cuddly and looks so real. K gave me a Christmas penguin with a Santa hat, red scarf holding a Christmas stocking. R gave me a cordless phone, also received candies, books, stationery and other goodies. So it was a cool Yule after all. The weather was overcast until just now it started to rain...suppose to rain until Monday night. I saw the Pope's blessing in Spanish on TV, parts of the Nutcracker and bits and pieces of other Christmasy stuff. But between you and I (you and me?) I'm glad the day is about over. Christmas stresses me out to the max so much so it will take a few stiff drinks and about a month to recover and get back to normal. (whatever normal is) I'm not going to any After Christmas sales...I used to do that, but not anymore. Well, guess that is all for now. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night or knight which ever you prefer...enjoy!
