The Christmas aftermath
Dec. 26th, 2013 03:31 pmHey all! So did everyone have a good holiday?
John and I had a lovely Christmas Eve. We went out to dinner then per tradition we drove around several neighborhoods that we know have many decorated houses to see all the pretty lights. We then attempted to do our other tradition - going to Cosley Zoo for their festival of lights. But to our surprise they were closed! The sign said they were open until 9 pm but we got there at 6:15 and the gates were locked. We have no idea why they closed early, so we were really disappointed. So we headed home instead for hot chocolate and cookies in front of the roaring fire, watching (much to my husband's delight - NOT) a Very Supernatural Christmas. But then I made it up to him and we watched Hercule Poirot's Christmas episode. :-)
It's only John and I, so holidays are pretty low-key, but Christmas was even more low-key than usual since another tradition of ours was thwarted - going to the movies. For the first time in many, many years, there wasn't a single movie out that we wanted to see. Bummer! But I got to stay in my jammies all day as a result! :-)
Check out the cool Darth Vader USB hub that John got for me. It makes Vader's breathing noise whenever you plug something in. Ha! Love it!
John made duck for dinner and it was amazingly delicious. Best one he's made in years! Bean even got a little plate of duck for a Christmas treat. :-) Speaking of the little mischief maker, you can just guess what happened a split second after I took this photo:
I'm still home from work for the holidays so I took the opportunity today to make my famous Milky Way cake for my birthday on Saturday. I'm meeting up with friends from work tomorrow for a bday dinner and I'm bringing them all a piece. Love the way the house smells when that candy starts melting. Yum!
I've spent most of the day watching a marathon of Doctor Who episodes on BBC America. I've become quite enamored with David Tennant since Broadchurch and was delighted to see that they were running several of his episodes today. Two with Captain Jack Harkness even, so that's a bonus!
And now I'm off to make some more hot chocolate and have a few more cookies and enjoy my last two days of holiday vacation before heading back to work on Monday. Oh, found out this morning that we're getting a surprise $800 bonus with our paychecks tomorrow! What a wonderful birthday gift that's going to be!
So how did YOU spend your Christmas?
