Good morning by the way!



Christmas Eve. Wow. It really seems a little surreal to me, especially this year!

Does anyone have plans or traditions they usually do on Christmas Eve?

My kids (& hubby) will be getting a new pair of PJs and a small toy tonight (yes, still), but beyond that, just everything as usual around here. For me that means probably making another run to the grocery store and some minor cleaning.

That's a good thing, isn't it?
Are you opening (probably not since you're posting here) or closing?
How did yesterday go?

That does not sound like a very good day.
And it sounds like your coworker has some issues.
Hopefully today will be a better day for you. :3

Christmas is always surreal for me. Christmas Eve I never had traditions, it's just another day. Usually with a couple feet if snow. Since I got married, Christmas is typically green because it's been abnormally warm this time of year. And Christmas morning we got to Grandma's house to open presents around 10 when everyone I s awake. Growing up we would go to my grandma's house and we couldn't open presents until after dinner and all the kids had to deliver the presents to the adults sitting around the room.

Since my grandma died we don't get together as a family much anymore. All the kids now have their own kids. (well. Most of us xD) and their own extended family to see. But that's all I used to do for Christmas, besides seeing family it was a really disappointing day typically. Crap music on the radio and a lot of waiting and being ordered around so that I could open presents that showed that my extended family had no idea who I am.

Course my parents didn't do much better at Ayyam-i-Ha, but at least they tried xD I got some wild video games out of their attempts to get me presents I'd enjoy.

Hey guys. Hope you're well! I'm just enjoying a coffee before continuing on with Christmas preparations.

I had to run to the grocery store to get a couple of things that I either didn't realize I needed or couldn't get yesterday (because certain people in my house would eat it). It's... kinda crazy out there, tbh. I'm glad that I'm home now, but I'm sending my son out on a quest for eggnog because the grocery store was out. At least it will get him out of the house for a bit! XD

@sunny: That's funny - puppy is pining for his presents, huh? XD Mine is whining at me - I don't know if he wants cuddles or to go outside and lie in the sun! It's only noon here right now, so there's not a whole lot going on at the moment (not that I expect it to change much as the day goes on). I went to the grocery, I started stew for tonight's dinner, put in some laundry... I'll check on the silly dog, make sure I don't still need to wrap or prepare anything and ...it's just a day, really. :3

I don't really do any exercise frequently, I want to do I can lose weight, but like again with the weather and the cost of a gym membership I just can't. I was going to start exercising in the basement of where I live, but then somebody moved in there so I can't really. Once the weather gets better I'll see if I can like go on jogs or something.
