I was so wanting a 'back home' kind of Christmas. As it worked out, we did not have to go to Phildalphia to spend time sitting around all prim and proper eating auderv's that no average person eats and talk about stock and the money world, and who is sailing to where, and the big gigantic house that is being built. I wanted to have a 'Woodhull' (My maiden name) kind of Christmas. A day playing games, listening to Christmas music, watching Christmas programs on TV and eating light and good snacks. Yes, that is what I wanted.
After returning home from our most wonderful Christmas eve service, my family had an evening snack, we watched a Christmas show on TV, then Naomi was tired so she went to bed. Brian needed to wrap gifts, and I needed to make a ton of potato salad to take to a place that our Church was feeding on Christmas day. But.... we were just to tired, so a nap on the couch was decided upon and off to sleep we went. As if an alarm went off we both woke up at 2:00 AM. I made the potato salad, Brian wrapped and we both spiffed up the house. Now it was 6:00 AM. Brian went up to bed and I clonked out on the couch. Naomi got up at 7:15 AM. Long story short. we opened gifts, had our coffee and breakfast. watched a show or two, had some great family time, then we kind of napped our way through the day cause we all were just tuckered out. We did get my 'laid back' kind of day, well, more laid back than I had anticipated, but everyone was happy. Oh and we went to a Chinese Buffet for dinner due to me being to tired to think of what to make at home. It was a very nice Christmas.
