Reigning Champ?

Our Christmas was really great. We had fun at the Christmas Eve open house we went to. After we left that we went to the 10pm service at the Unitarian Church. I have to say, I expected a better service, but it still felt magical and wonderful and can I just say that candlelight on Christmas is just so beautiful?

I couldn't sleep in on Christmas morning, so we got up around 9:30am and opened our presents. I got a pair of earrings, a gift card to Nordstrom, and a microwave for my cube! I was convinced that I wasn't getting the microwave because my boxes under the tree were small. But Chris had put a picture of a microwave in a little box and wrapped that. The microwave itself was in the garage. Very clever!

We hung out for the rest of the morning, and around noon we started cooking for our Christmas dinner. People showed up around 2:30pm, and dinner was served around 3pm. It was no-stress and really fun. We played with the cute babies and played games and ended the night with the Tetris tournament.

There is some confusion over who won the Christmas Tetris Tournament. I won, but then Melody demanded a rematch, and she won that one. So it's not over, is about all I can tell you.

This week is really slow at work, so it's been very relaxing. We're not sure what we're doing for New Year's, if anything. We've been invited to go on a Yurt trip, but snowshoeing a mile to a yurt in the freezing temperatures might not be the way I want to spend my New Year's Eve. Or maybe it is. I have to decide by tomorrow.
