Wandering Aimlessly

Hope everyone had a wonderful day. I sure did. It SNOWED! We had a White Christmas, which I wanted so badly. Heehee. Very exciting.

Last night was wonderful. Christmas Eve is our big celebration. We don't do presents or anything, but it's my mom's big dinner, we do a little treasure hunt, read The Night Before Christmas, do the Christmas play, sing carols... it's a lot of fun. We had a larger crowd than usual, but everyone enjoyed it. Then we went to the candlelight church service, which was very nice. I love "Silent Night," which we sang with candles for the second time that evening. <.g>

Today was nice as well. I got a digital camera! So I can take lots and lots of pictures in Florida. ;) I got many gift certificates to clothes stores to buy professional outfits for work. Blah. Not that I don't like the gifts, I just don't want to wear professional outfits at work. Lol. I'm not a "suit and tie" (even though no tie for me) kind of person. I'll survive. Then my parents bought us tickets to see Stomp tomorrow at the Shubert. Yippee! I'm very excited. That'll be a lot of fun.

One of the best things this holiday was getting to know my aunt's new husband. She was married to him when I was very young, and just got remarried to him on Thanksgiving. I'm sad that I missed out on almost twenty years of knowing him, because he's a great guy. He kept pictures of my sister and me from when we were teeny-tiny. My mom said he really adored us when we were young... he must have, because he divorced my aunt and lost contact completely with our family, and yet held onto pictures. And then he gave my sister and me a great compliment on our singing of Christmas carols last night (I know descants and harmonies to most of the songs from choir, and have taught Jess over the years). *giggle* So sweet.

Such a great couple days, though. I'm sad that it's over! I'm watching Fiddler on the Roof, which I love, and then Jess, my mom and I are going to watch Lilo and Stitch, which I got for Christmas.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!
