QotD: 'Twas the Night before Christmas...
'Twas the night before Christmas... How are you spending this Christmas Eve? Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions you're excited about?
We are home together, just the two of us. I've been sipping on some scotch whisky (we got to open one Christmas present early) and playing video games. In previous years, either we would have put up the tree (an artificial one that belonged to my Grandma) around Thanksgiving, or we wouldn't put it up at all, anticipating being out of town for the holiday anyway. This year though, with the house in disarray still from Gustav, there's just no room for the big tree, but (we reluctantly decided) there's also no way we're able to travel. So today I finally went out and bought a short tree -- a live one too. I put it on a little marble-top table, and cleared off an end-table to stack the presents; put some tiny ornaments on it, and a string of lights, and it turned out okay. For the life of me though, I cannot find my tiny Santa; maybe it is still at Mom and Dad's (although I got all the other ornaments designated for me).
Tomorrow we will sleep in, exchange gifts, watch the Doctor Who Christmas Specials on BBCAmerica in the afternoon, and generally be lazy. For Christmas dinner: tuna casserole. That's what the K-man said he wanted. So be it. *grin*
