I would like to inform all of you that I have now officially done the dishes at least once.
CHECK!
I mean, the living room is full of the remnants of making my parents' Christmas presents, and I haven't taken the trash out yet, I need to take a shower and the whole house smells like tater tots, but hey, one thing at a time people.
In other news, it's taken until Christmas Eve but it finally feels like Christmas to me. I have to work tonight and seeing my kids at church and watching kid's Christmas movies and singing songs and talking about Santa is probably going to really up the holiday spirit.
I can't wait to spend a few hours with Ira and Flossie on Christmas eve, a fantastic present. They each gave me gifts that they picked out themselves. Ira gave me his Cars cup and a snowman dishtowel, and Flossie gave me pink nail polish and a stuffed santa clause. It was clearly just stuff that they had in their house, but it was so sweet that they had picked me out things that they had and wanted to give to me. They even wrapped them themselves! And they piled on top of me and jumped up and down and were so excited to watch me open the presents. It was wonderful. They are my best friends.
I'm ready to be home, and then I'm ready to be in Montgomery for longer than 24 hours. Now I have friends up there, and it occurs to me that even though I've spend so much time up there in my life I never leave my relatives' houses so I don't know anything to do in that damn town. So this time while I'm around seeing family I'll have other people to see and places to go. Not that I don't love spending all day on my aunt Jean's couch, I would spend a day like that no problem.
So I wish everyone a Merry Christmas with families or the people you consider families and be sure to call anyone who isn't with you and tell them you love them. On Christmas you can get away with it and not feel awkward. It's a good excuse holiday. You can't tell everyone you love them on Halloween, that's just weird.
I love you.
