Christmas Day is over but the fun is not gone. In spite of the economy we ended up with a very nice Christmas. Santa was generous, yet practical. Visits went fairly well, and I think gifts were appreciated.
Alexandra (
my 10 year granddaughter that lives with me) got everything she asked for from Santa. She got art supplies, a new stuffed animal, a new book to read, a new fleece blanket (3 of them), pottery clay and new pajamas. She was so excited about everything and it was a pleasure to watch her playing and using her new things. Alex also ended up with 2 new coats with matching hats, scarves and gloves for each one. One coat normally would seem enough, but Alex likes to wear a different coat each day based on her mood, so this gives her 3 nice coats she can choose from and change the accessories around.

Antonio (Alex's 15 year old brother who also lives with me) was thrilled 
with the new digital camera he got, especially when he found out it worked as a web-cam as well. He spent several hours on the computer and internet yesterday playing with the photos he had taken and checking out how everything worked. He is hoping today to get a new facebook account so he can talk to his cousin Taylor and his sister Elisa. He also got a new shaving kit with a razor, so he is anxious to go to the store today and buy some shaving cream and try it out. Taylor told him that once he starts shaving his hair would actually start growing even more. He also got several new shirts and hats, which he is really happy about.

Cathy (my daughter who lives with me) got exactly what she wanted- the newest Stephen King book. So she will be busy for the next week or so since it is the size of at least 2 Harry Potter or Twighlight series books.
As for me, I got some bath supplies, movies, a new locket, and some new pajamas. My gift to myself was last week when I decided the medical bills I will be strapped with over the next few months were worth my being able to see, and I had cataract surgery on my right eye. I spent most of yesterday just relaxing and watching Christmas movies. I don't often take time for myself without feeling guilty or pressured to be doing something else, but I chose to not feel either of thm yesterday. So today I get to start back to trying to organize my house, sort through mail and put away all the clean clothes in the laundry room. Then I get to see what time I can carve out to work on budgets, newsletters and press releases for where I work. So I will hold the peace from yesterday to help me through the weekend.
