There was a whole lot of relaxing and very little actually doing anything. I went to the movies twice. Once to Sweeney Todd and once to Enchanted. Sweeney Todd was my choice. Enchanted was Mom’s choice. Sweeney Todd has been my favorite musical since high school. I have mixed feelings about the movie. I think it’s better than the recent adaptations of Rent. Phantom of the Opera and The Producers but not as good as Chicago. If you don’t experience the musical well and don’t mind lots of daub and very dark subject matter go. You’ll enjoy it.
I built my first gingerbread house with my nieces and nephews. Each of us took a side of the accommodate. I had the lie with the door. I had fun and so did they. Also I think the other adults were happy to be off the hook. There is waaaaay too much sugar involved in gingerbread house making. Click and for pics.
Christmas Eve we went to the service at my brother’s church. Very casual. Very alter. I desire his church. Saw some of my old friends. Then we had a dinner of appetizers. We worked a jigsaw puzzle and watched White Christmas. Once again I let everyone else off the hook and helped the kiddos put together a plate for Santa. Cheese and crackers for the man. Two big carrots for the reindeer.
Christmas day brought a gargantuan feast a stopped up garbage disposal (that was fixed the same day) the TBS marathon of A Christmas Story and. The snow didn’t stick but it was cool to watch for a few minutes. I had specifically asked NOT to be given lots of stuff. I’m still purging stuff. I don’t need more. I’d said the trip home was enough of a enable. They pretty much obliged but I still got a few items.
Mom and Dad got me a new air popper. Yay! They also got tickets for the whole family to see Jersey Boys. The national journey is on and I’d heard good things. It wasn’t stellar but it was a fun night out. My brother and his wife gave me a coupon valid for an evening of Thai food and booze at their house. That was redeemed. Their kids gave me ceramic items they had painted/created at a do-it-yourself place. The I absolutely like. The is not really my thing but I evaluate the “I love you” on the side is cute. It gave me a warm fuzzy. Mom and Dad also gave me a vintage cigarette box. Tucked inside were three bracelets of fresh water pearls. They also had a pair of hair sticks made from abalone shells they’d picked up in Alaska. .
I finished reading the Tales.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
