Christmas 2025

Christmas we didn't get up early and I didn't even have to put out the gifts in the middle of the night like years past.  It is kindof nice yet sad to not have that part anymore.  I looked for the Christmas stockings and I couldn't find them.  We only have 3 bins of Christmas stuff (and I would reduce it to less than one or none if I thought it was a good idea) and they weren't in there.  Maybe we have 4 and I don't know where the other one is.  So I had to makeshift the sockings.  Everyone had a row and it was their stocking.  I was going to find everyone their favorite drink and decided to get a 12 pack for each one since it was about as cheap.  Jack's was open because he found the Diet Coke in the garage and helped himself early.  I am not going to look very hard for them because I decided this year, the stocking tradition is being retired.  It is too much work and stress and no one really will miss it.  

There's the spread.  It is less gifts as we get older.  We didn't even bother to decorate the tree.  Andrew got it out a few days ago.  

Good gifts and time was had by all.  Vuori was what Jack and Nick got as Brody works there and helped me out.  Abi got some gift cards for a facial and pedicure.  (she is probably moving and doesn't want to move more HUD)  Brooke also got a Facial gift card AND Brooke gave me one too.  We will be looking so fresh.  

Andrew gave me a new Driver for Golf.  I hope it helps my game.  :)  

Abi and Brody gave me a garbage can (you can see it in the pictrue below in the box).  They hate my garbage can so I'm excited for another one.  

Sharing the chair with the Ton. He hates me but sat there because he likes that chair to look out when he is left at my house with me alone.  Waiting for Brooke to come back. 

AND the highlight is the Chinese food.  Long time ago we decided to order Chinese food on Christmas since most Chinese restaurants are open.  I don't want to cook a turkey or ham or a casserole because no one will eat that anyway.  It is a great tradition.  Andrew calls it in, and he even paid.  Love that.  And he went and picked it up with a few of the clan and I got to stay home.  

Most of them get the General Tao's chicken.  I like the Noodle thing.  Brooke had to go back to Carla's after dinner.  Some went to the Sim for golf.  I think I stayed home.  I was tired.

Christmas is a fun holiday but filled with stress and anxiousness.  However, this year was good.  Love spending time with my family who I love the mostest of everyone on Earth is my favorite and best part.  

I also saw this online and had to send it to Abi since all we talk about is Science.  And fun fact, Abi did a book report about Marie Curie and dressed up as a Scientist.
