Xmas Day 2007 - Recap

When it's just Wife, I and Elegant International Business Woman daughter, Christmas Eve is really the big event. Without the energy of a gaggle of grandchildren, Christmas Day is fairly sedate. On top of that since everybody blew most of their life's savings so yours truly could gorge on truffles (a wise choice on their part in my opinion) and since we will probably be in debtors prison watching television feeds of our beautiful renovated house in the near future, it was mutually decided to skip the adult present swapping this year.

We got up late opened a couple of perfunctory gifts and had our traditional breakfast of bacon, sausage, home made biscuits and oranges. Then we sat around and chilled most of the day until time for the traditional Christmas Day meal of home made pizza. Alexis and Wife did a fabulous job and we actually took notes about what worked and what didn't (first time in 30 some odd years).

More chilling and quiet time followed. And you know for three adults who have been working real hard all year that was totally OK.

One last note, evidently Wife felt that Elegant International Business Woman daughter was getting all the fashion press so she decided it was necessary for her to break out the Mysterious Christmas Bunny Slippers.

Wife got these as a present a couple of years ago but there was no name as to who it was from and she has never been able to get anyone to fess up
