So, Christmas:

1. Visit in-laws. Check.
2. Attend church. Check. Sermon without anti-abortion lecture - check.
3.

Loot from in-laws:

-$150 from in-laws - to be used for Lumos airfare
-Snowman figurine with light
-U of Miami jacket for Honeybunch (and GOD, is it ugly, but he loves 'em)

Loot from work folks:

-Scarf made of felt strips
-Snowglobe that plays "We Wish You A Merry Christmas"

Loot from family:
-$30 gift card to a "roadhouse" restaurant from older sister
-$50 gift card to Red Lobster from Dad
-Vanilla candle from Dad's girlfriend fiancee
-CO Bigelow set from younger sister (even though we're not supposed to be exchanging gifts!)

Aaaand, gold earrings from Honeybunch!

Check.
4. Have scrumptious Christmas dinner of prime rib with all the fixins - check.
5. Have stomachache from said dinner - yup.
6. Spend three hours at work on Christmas Day - yessir.
7. Watch Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, A Christmas Story, and Home Alone - sho' nuff.
8. Plan to do it all again next year - you bet your sweet bippy.

In other news, my dad is engaged (again). His fiancee is nice, puts up with him. If this will get him to sell the house, it'll all be worth it.

Dad also did not seem to like my present - I got him HPSS on tape. I'll pick him up a restaurant card for Bob Evans this week, methinks.

In other, other news, the semi-annual Bath and Body Works sale begins Tuesday. Life is gooood! :D

Yankee Candle is having their clearance sale this week. I shopped online last night! Yipee!

It's good to hear you had a loverly day. :)

You missed Festivus.

I looked at the Festivus site - the airing of grievances!

It's this time of year that brings out my inner bitch, when everyone else is so g-ddamned cheery.

Bath and Body Works & White Barn Candle shuddered and shrank after I got done there! :D So did my bank account.
