I didn't have a gift worthy of excitement. My choices were pretty mundane. But I took the train into the city to get my hair done and stopped by the Philadelphia Transit Museum Store where I found a retired sign for our train line for sale. DS, how loves all things train, will be surprised. He wasn't happy Septa got rid of the regional rail R designations. DS is probably more excited by his brass model locomotive.
2. Do you own any Christmas-themed clothing (sweater, socks, pjs, etc?)
Hell no. I do have a pair of Y2K themed socks somewhere in the back of my drawer.
3. Would you wear said Christmas clothing in public?
NA
4. What's your favorite season?
Early summer when there are so many more hours of daylight.
5. What are you eating on Christmas day?
Probably a prime rib, some sort of potato, roasted veggies, maybe a fancy salad, and some Happy Birthday Baby Jesus cake. I'm more excited for the wine. We have a Phelps Insignia and a nice beernauslace for dessert. Then some nice port and silton with walnuts after.
6. What's the last text you received?
From DH. "Beautanimous" as comment on a hair cut selfie. He'd been drinking.
7. What time did you get up this morning?
Around 6:30 which is late for me.
8. What are your weekend plans?
I'm going to wrap some gifts as soon as I finish my second pot of tea. I'm also going to listen to NPR because my BFF was interviewed for a show on Christmas "firsts". It's her first Christmas with her DD spending time with in-laws-to-be in another state. Said child is all "MOM!!! HOW DARE YOU" on facebook. This is amusing. FTR, mom is pretty chill about it, she's not a controlling type.
Then I'm going to dig champagne glasses out of my basement for tonight's party to make sure they're good to go. Then some cleaning for said party and food shopping. My niece lives with me and she's throwing said Christmas party.
Tonight I meet my BFF for dinner with DH and DS in tow. My godchild is starring in a local theater production so we'll see that. Her mom warns me that it is something of a turkey, but the aftershow around the NPR spot should be worth the price of admission. After we come home to the party and pray they haven't done major damage. They're a pretty decent bunch, but they do drink heavily. Since I live in Siberia, I mean the suburbs, they're camping out in my living room.
Not sure about tomorrow. Maybe I'll chase the boys to go railfanning, they like to follow the local tourist rail's Santa Express and take pictures. Niece will be staying at her friends' in the city, so I may get to be alone in my own house which is a friggin' Christmas Miracle.
1. What's the gift you're most excited to give? Gabe's Doll House (It's a cabin...so it's a "boy doll house" LOL!) 2. Do you own any Christmas-themed clothing (sweater, socks, pjs, etc?) No. 3. Would you wear said Christmas clothing in public? Only for "Ugly Sweater Day" or something like that. 4. What's your favorite season? I like all of them now that we live in MA. Each season here is fun for different reasons. If I got rid of a season it would be winter, because it gets dark so early, though. 5. What are you eating on Christmas day? No sure. We're arriving in NE that day, so whatever my mom cooks. 6. What's the last text you received? Text from a friend checking in on me. She's good people. 7. What time did you get up this morning? 8:45, It was my "sleep in day". 8. What are your weekend plans? Gabe is sick, so we might not be able to do much. We want to go see the xmas lights tomorrow night, though. Hopefully we can.
