I expect nothing other than a nice day with family and that way I am not disappointed. I guess I also expect that the food will be good, because it always is. My family are awesome cooks, fresh and simple. No fancy sauces,nothing frozen, canned or boxed. All homemade stuffing, dessert, etc.
As far as gifts go, I expect nothing and I want nothing because anything I do want, I can and usually do buy for myself. I got a nice sweater from LL Bean and an Amazon gift card, and that was all good. I also bought myself gifts, as I usually do. Three pairs of earrings, perfume, a boxed set of the Wicked books, a few shirts.
I had a great Christmas eve in church (the annual visit to church) seeing the children’s nativity service and then going to dinner with my family. I didn’t want to go out, as it’s a far ride to where they go to church and it was raining pretty hard. I really wanted to just stay home, but I was encouraged to get my second wind, and I was happy that I did.
Today, Christmas, simple as I described. In addition to eating, I just hung out with my family and my daughter played with all of her new toys. I am off for the next week so that is something I look forward to.
