Christmas day is closing up shop soon. Right now I’m sitting at my Mom’s waiting on Heather’s boyfriend and daughter to come to pass out the last two presents of the season.
The morning started about 8am. Scott came in about 5am and slept until then and has been up all day except for a very short nap this afternoon. Honestly, we didn’t get the girls too much. Only 5 presents and a stocking each. But they seemed completely ok with it. Heather had brought all her presents over so they room was still full of presents to be opened. Mom, Dad and Heather came over around 9 or 9:30 and opened up our presents and Heather’s. I didn’t realize they had left all of their presents at home. They seemed really happy with their presents. We got Heather the 1 vs. 100 DVD so she spent some time playing that. Heather got me one of those laptop tables and also some Bath & Body Works soap.
Around 11 we headed over to his parents. Presents abounded there. The girls got all kinds of stuff…Baby Alive, princess toys, clothes, train set and on and on. I got my big external hard drive. Around 3 we headed back to Mom’s to open presents here and eat dinner. I got a new leather office chair that I’m so excited to sit in all day tomorrow. That gives me a little reason to want to work tomorrow.
I’m a little stressed on everything that needs done at the house though. Since we were out of town I have cleaning and laundry to do and then we have so much stuff to put up, there are new toys and clothes everywhere. I feel like I need one day off all to myself at the house. Scott and I took a short nap here at Mom’s this afternoon so I’m going to stay up tonight and try to get some things done just so I can rest easy about all of it. I think that Bennett OCD blood is rubbing off.
I’ve been in the Christmas mood since some time in November but honestly, I think I’m glad it’s just about over. No more presents to buy, I’m tired of Christmas music, no more family gatherings to run to. I’m ready to hibernate for the winter!
