Christmas Day this year was fairly standard with the largest exception being me starting my day at my apartment and having to drive over to my parents' place at 9:00 am. This required getting a bunch of stuff together so that I would have everything I needed until late-afternoon Friday (today) when I've finished teaching in the area. Anyway, this year we did our massive amount of presents with Jaclyn AND her husband Ryan (in the past he's been with his family), which was a nice change. Then we relaxed for most of the day waiting to be called to go over to my aunt's place for our typical gathering with her family (which we do for all holidays). There, we had dinner (our third large meal in 24 hours) and did presents. This year however, to save money, we each drew a name and gave only that person a gift. Although it would seem that this would cut our present-opening time by a lot, we still figured out how to kill a lot of time needlessly, but at least the presents were all what we wanted... =)
So, a fairly standard Christmas with a few little tweaks. I'll cover presents (both given and received) in a later post. Below is my final "Christmas Song of the Day." I couldn't find YouTube clips of the other songs I really wanted to share, so this is it. Maybe I'll save them for next year?
