Christmas Update

Good morning , all.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

Mine was pretty darn nice.

On Friday, Christmas Eve,

 mom and I,

 went to visit my dad’s side of the family.

We don’t get to visit with them that much,

 everyone is spread out over two very large provinces.

But, at Christmas we manage to meet,

some years one or two can’t make it,

this year everyone did,

 and all were on their best behaviors.

Good food, good conversation and lots of laughing.

On  Christmas day, we went to my ex’s mother’s,

we go at Christmas and they come over on New Year’s,

it’s tradition and has been for many years.

The thing with going there is that my ex has a brother who is,

kind of a jerk,

 most families have one.

So, you never know if this is the year,

 he’ll make a scene.

This year, Goddess be praised:-),

 he was sweet and funny.

When we go there it’s all about presents,

 too many.

This year it was more manageable,

everyone seemed to like their stuff.

I didn’t get any books, I like to pick my own.

I got a new comforter from mom,

 a great backpack from my ex,

a really nice warm sweater,

 and some new leather gloves.

Bonus, I got Lost and Delirious,

 a movie I have been wanting to see for ages.

Mom also renewed my Chapters IReward card.

I’m very happy.

Today, Boxing Day we are going to my aunt’s,

this is all about the kids.

I hope they like their loot:-)

We are going to have take out Chinese,

which is fun, we are all so sick of turkey.

I haven’t had much time for reading,

but, I am working my way through, The Bookshop.

I’m enjoying it, a nice quiet British read.

I’ll let you know what I think when I finish.

I hope you all had fun and ate lots of yummy stuff.

Later girls
