"Great Holiday..."
Spent a lot of time in the days leading up to Christmas with Mark, hanging out, cooking, and getting ready with last minute gift runs. It's been a long time since I had a family Christmas to prepare for, and I was a little out of practice.
Giftage was fairly low-key and simple... Markie and I exchanged CDs* and a few small items (he gave me a small tool set, I got him mugs from the diner we ate at the night we met and a pair of thermal socks). I bought Mikey this year's Hess Truck,(click for pic)and a Border's Certificate for Sue.
As usual, the food was fab. Ham, sweet and mashed potatoes, corn. We also had what Markie calls "hunky sausage" (spicy!) and his version of sarma, which he'd made over the weekend. Really good stuff!
We spent the day quietly, hanging with the kids, watching movies and TV (including AbFab and SNL marathons on Comedy Central) and we made a couple trips to the house to check on progress and/or show it off :).
