Daughter and I were tired from having gone to Midnight Mass last night, so we slept in. First time we ever did that on Christmas morning! Husband got the turkey in the oven right after breakfast just before Son showed up at the door - much earlier than expected - bearing gifts. This business of all-adult Christmases is still very new for us.
Although not an entirely techie Christmas, we accumulated a variety of electronic toys: Son's iPhone he bought late yesterday afternoon; the digital picture frame he gave me; the bluetooth headset I gave him. I have already been playing with my Dell Mini 9 for a week. Husband received Spore, and has already created his planet and cellular being, which has evolved into a legless ping-pong ball-like creature with a long snake-like tail, pincer jaws and a single eye in the middle of its back. Daughter created a couple of "Celtic Christmas" CDs from iTunes downloads, but we haven't been able to enjoy them yet, because the CD player has failed. Maybe we can take advantage of the post-Christmas sales to pick up a newer model.
And the food! This year, there was definitely too much. To be fair, we were expecting guests for dinner, but that didn't work out, so we have extra turkey, piles of stuffing, and several baked goods we never even touched: apple pie, cranberry squares, and also cranberry bread.
All-in-all, it was a good Christmas: much more relaxed than some, and the rainy morning made being indoors with a warm cuppa cider very cozy. We called Husband's family in Kentucky and my family in Hawaii.
